Lebanese privately-owned consulting firm, Dar Al-Handasah (Dar), has been selected to design a new Master Plan 2050 for Lahore, Pakistan’s second-largest city.

According to the Lahore Development Authority, after evaluating the technical proposals of three qualifying companies, Dar was chosen against Singapore’s Mine Heart and Pakistan’s Nespak.

Lahore Development Authority’s Director-General Ahmed Aziz Tarar said that Dar’s new master plan “will determine the future course of development of the provincial metropolis,” and stressed that transparency was a top priority.
