The largest city in Pakistan, Karachi, sometimes referred to as the “city of lights,” is plunged under a murky mixture of rainwater and sewage water whenever clouds break over it. This phenomenon is known as “urban flooding.”
The term is now widely used since everyone is aware that city roads, where daily life moves at the highest speed, can suddenly transform into floods when it rains and that it is impossible to tell the difference between drains and roadways. The traffic system is broken, houses are inundated in 70% of the city, and confusion reigns as though the city is immobilized. However, this is not a one-day tale; rather, it has a history, and the city was brought about for a variety of reasons.
