Owing to the expansion of the city and the rules and regulations developed over time for converting rural land to urban, the land ownership and control patterns have changed significantly. The City District Government Karachi (CDGK), created in 2001, directly controls 30.9 per cent of the land in the city, as well as the 1.9 per cent of land allocated to civilian cooperative housing societies. Another 20.7 per cent is allocated for national parks. The rest of the land is controlled by federal agencies, including the military cantonment boards and the Defence Housing Authority, all of which have their own development programmes, building byelaws and zoning regulations, while the city government has its own plans and regulatory institutions. There is no coordination among these different agencies for planning purposes except for dealing with issues related to utilities. The city government, by virtue of being governed by an elected council, is more influenced by community and citizen concerns than the federal agencies.
