Karachi: The Karachi that Pakistan does not talk about is not fit to stay Karachi. The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) has released the list of the highest and lowest living cities of this year. The agency revealed the world’s lowest habitable cities in 2025 which included the name of Pakistan’s financial capital Karachi. Think tank ranked 173 cities around the world for 2025, evaluating on the basis of healthcare, education, stability, infrastructure and environment.

This condition of Karachi shows what is the real picture of Pakistan. While the world’s big cities are moving towards stability and development, Karachi is struggling with waste, traffic jams, water crisis and violence. This report is a slap on Pakistan’s urban administrative policies. According to experts, if the situation does not improve, then life will become even more difficult in cities like Karachi.
