A group of academic researchers from different universities including QAU, IIU, NUST, LUMS and Ibadat University has proposed to the government an effective model of parking in Islamabad. As per the model, spaces will be allotted to vehicles and parking areas will be well managed.
The model is equally effective for indoor and outdoor parking. Prof Dr Muhammad Zaman, the principal researcher of the project, says that universities have a potential to offer solutions to civic problems but unfortunately these solutions are flouted by inconsistency in policies about urban planning. He said little care has been taken for car parking in Islamabad, a city which is growing faster.
