I am an engineer, I did opt this for 2020 but i didn't find any good sources to study, so my paper went very general.

I am preparing town planning from JWT book but it is more like short notes we prepare in bullet form with no or less details. I have tried FPSC recommended Levy's book too but it is almost useless. Now I am relying on the internet but if I go on like this I would be attempting this paper with my engineering knowledge only--- can't say that would be enough.



And how did you prepare Environmental Science? It is more about ineffective laws and less about environment. I am facing trouble as I can't remember all those meetings and agendas.

I'll try to link below as many of the resources that I originally used for TPUM but when I was preparing I made a separate document with my own notes topic by topic and sometimes simply copy pasted into that off the internet without linking back. So that might be a problem but these should cover a good chunk of the course.

I mostly studies this from Sisters notes. She's a fine arts students and they study a lot of historical cities and cultures. Look through some importnat cities and features of towns from each of the sub-topic. The layouts can easily be remembered and reproduced. It is fairly easy to do and this is a fun question to attempt.
