Karachi is the biggest city of Pakistan and capital of the Province of Sindh. The city has five populous districts to administer. Today Karachi, with a population of over 10 million continues to grow at the rate of 6% per annum. To cater to the ever swelling municipal requirements, a two tiered municipal system has been evolved for the city:

  1. Karachi Metropolitan corporation (KMC) The single largest Local Government institution in Pakistan, performs larger function such as Water supply to the city, constructing major roads, bridges, and bye-passes etc. The KMC also generates revenue from sources that fall under its purview.

  2. Five District Municipal Corporations (DMCs) of the city: West; East, South,Central; and Malir, have similar municipal functions but each District has its own geographical and cultural  blend.
