MS Worldwide is actively involved in promoting sustainable urban development across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa by supporting the Urban Policy and Planning Unit within the Planning and Development Department.

One of the key initiatives is the development of District Land Use Plans for the merged districts. This ambitious project aims to establish a framework that guides the use and management of land in these districts, ensuring that growth is balanced with environmental sustainability, infrastructure development, and the social needs of the population.

The District Land Use Plans are designed to cover various critical aspects. These include zoning regulations that allocate specific areas for residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural purposes, ensuring that land use is optimized for economic growth while preserving the natural environment. The plans also emphasize the importance of infrastructure development, such as transportation networks, public utilities, and social services, which are essential for the holistic development of these districts.

By integrating environmental considerations into land use planning, MS Worldwide aims to mitigate the adverse impacts of urbanization, such as deforestation, soil erosion, and the degradation of natural habitats. This ensures that development is sustainable in the long term, benefiting both current and future generations. In parallel, MS Worldwide has been deeply engaged in climate-resilient village development planning for villages affected by Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOF) and those vulnerable to flooding along the Chitral River and Indus. These villages are particularly at risk due to their proximity to the river and the increasing frequency of climate-induced disasters. The organization’s involvement in this area
