Urban Planning
Layouts and masterplans that fit the city fabric
Masterplans and public-realm strategies that stitch projects into the city fabric. We prepare masterplans and layout strategies for developers and housing schemes across Pakistan.
Urban planning at ZADS supports developers and institutions who need clear layout strategies for roads, plots, open space, and phasing before individual buildings are designed.
We prepare masterplans and public-realm frameworks that stitch projects into surrounding infrastructure and future growth.

Common questions
Who is urban planning for?
Developers, institutions and housing schemes that need a clear layout for roads, plots, open space and phasing before individual buildings are designed.
What does a masterplan include?
The site-wide organization of plots, roads and open space, a phasing strategy, and high-level guidelines that keep the later architecture coherent.
Can a scheme be built in phases?
Yes. Staging is planned so that early parcels can move ahead and protect the first investment, while later phases stay flexible.
Can overseas or remote clients track progress easily?
Yes. Through the private ZADS Client Portal, remote and overseas clients access real-time milestone timelines, approve drawings, view fortnightly video consultation summaries, and inspect site photo updates without needing to visit Pakistan.
Is ZADS a licensed PCATP architectural practice in Pakistan?
Yes. Principal Architect Abdullah Zamir is officially registered with the Pakistan Council of Architects and Town Planners (PCATP Reg. No. A-09626). Our drawing packages comply with local building bylaws (DHA, SBCA, CDA, and cantonment boards).
