Introduction

Shehersaaz is a civil society initiative aimed to make the urban and suburban settlements of Pakistan safer, resilient, sustainable, inclusive, and humane. Shehersaaz undertakes research, identifies problems, and offers and demonstrates solutions for addressing the challenges being faced by urban and sub-urban areas of Pakistan.

Shehersaaz is a Persian rooted Urdu word compounding Sheher (City or Cities) and Saaz (Maker or Makers). Our subject matter includes all elements that make up or shape a particular city or an urban place including:

 

  • People or inhabitants and their social, economic and political relations with their fellow inhabitants in the same city as well as with those living elsewhere
  • Natural and built environment Infrastructure, amenities, services, and utilities Administration, planning and governance.
  • Simply we are interested in and deal with all which reflect the image and essence of a city.

VISION

Shehersaaz envisions a Pakistan having its cities and other human settlements as places where humans, and natural and built environment exist and thrive in harmony. This means these should be places that are:

  • Resilient to natural and human made disasters and freer from safety risks, conflicts and crimes;
  • Physically functional and aesthetically appealing;
  • Cohesive to natural environment and responsive to climate;
  • Socially inclusive, culturally vibrant and tolerant to diversity;
  • Economically efficient and equitable;
  • Designed, planned, managed and governed with best practices.

MISSION

Shehersaaz’s mission is to become a specialized and dedicated civil society organization with a spirit, knowledge, experience; and technical, financial and human resources to strive for its vision and to effectively and meaningfully contribute to making cities and other human settlements of Pakistan liveable, inclusive, humane, compassionate, safe, resilient and sustainable by working in collaboration with citizens, communities, private sector, government and other stakeholders. In short it will be a ‘Trust of Cities and Citizens’.
