Islamabad is the capital city of Pakistan with a population of 2.4 million. Since 1990; the area of the city has increased by 585% caused by an average annual population growth of 4%; making it one of the fastest growing cities of the country. Capital Development Authority (CDA); the entity responsible for providing municipal services in Islamabad; expects the population to grow to 4.4 million by 2050.
