Q. 2 "Town Planning" is considered to be a multidisciplinary field. Discuss in detail the different professionals that should be part of a town planning exercise, explaining the ways in which they can contribute in the process.

Q. 4 What do you understand by the 'human development paradigm'? Explain how it should be incorporated within planning and development process.

Q. 5 Informal settlements in cities have offered a respite to the housing crisis for the masses in Pakistan. In the light of examples from the developing countries discuss possible ways of improvements in such settlements. Also mention examples of such initiatives in Pakistan, if any.

Q. 6 Explain what is an Intelligent Transport System (ITS)? Discuss the need for such systems in the context of Pakistan's urban centres.

Q. 7 What do you understand by the terms Metropolitan City, Magacity, Cosmopolitan City? Using examples of cities in Pakistan discuss the challenges of planning and management of such cities and how could these be addressed?

Q. 8 Write short notes on any TWO of the following using appropriate examples:

Very tough paper...i'm a town planner it is difficult for me to solve. Hats off to you fpsc��

Sir, And why do you think so?
I found question no 4 & 8 tough.
Others were doable by routine preparation. Because anyone who will opt this subject, have to cover these topics. In my opinion paper is easier than the last year's paper
