Lahore: The Punjab government has decided to transform Lahore into Pakistan’s first smart city in the next three years, news sources reported. The initial phase of the Lahore Smart City project is expected to be completed by 2024.
To this effect, the planning commission and a time frame have been prepared. The project will be executed by the joint efforts of the local government department and Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB). According to the details, Lahore will be developed as a smart city in line with internationally established practices and standards.
