  1. Karachi is number one and second one is Lahore , although , lately, Lahore is more important city as centre for education and also strategically ..............Karachi is the only sea port Pakistan . But , I don't understand why this city is being neglected by the Pakistan Govt.


  2. Karachi with a population of 11,507,254.

    wikipedia places the population at 12,461,423 as of Feb. 2008.

  3. It is Kirachi (population over 9.3 Million)  or about 22% of the total population of Pakistan.

    Second is Lahore (pop. over 5.4 Million) or about 13% of the total population of Pakistan.

    As you can see, these two cities represent over 35% of the population of Pakistan.

    See link below.

  4. Karachi.

    It is now well above 10 million mark. As per 1998 figures it is 9,339,023 (as against the second biggest city - Lahore 5,143,495)

  5. Biggest City is Karachi (written in English)

    Biggest City is كراچى (written in Pakistan's national language, i.e. Urdu)

    Karachi is the provincial capital of Sindh province and the largest city in Pakistan. It is also, population-wise, the second largest city in the world and is located on the northern shores of the Arabian Sea, west of the Indus River Delta. It was the original capital of Pakistan and remains the cultural and economic hub, as well as the largest seaport of the country. Its leading economic sectors include finance, business services, transportation, media, television production, publishing, software, medical research, education and tourism.

    Spread over 3,530 square km (1,363 sq mi), the city and suburbs comprise the world's twentieth largest metropolitan area. The city credits its growth to the mixed populations of economic and political migrants and refugees from different national, provincial, linguistic and religious origins who have largely come to settle here permanently. Its population is dominated by the Urdu Speaking Majority called "Muhajirs" or the post independence (after 1947) migrators from India. It is locally termed as the "City of Lights" for its liveliness and the "City of the Quaid", having been the birth and burial place of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, as well as his home after 1947.
