Capital Development Authority is tasked with the Development and Provision


of Services to Islamabad. They are aiming to transform Islamabad into a modern, forward
looking and proactive urban city to deal with the challenges of 21st Century. They are
embarking on an ambitious plan to improve the environment in the Capital City.

1. Water Supply
1.1 Plans to improve availability of drinking water

One of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) set by the UN includes


environmental sustainability. CDA sould provide plans to improve availability of
drinking water to the residents of islamabad.

1.2 Water quality


Most water requires some type of treatment before use, even water from deep
wells or springs. The extent of treatment depends on the source of the water. Appropriate
technology options in water treatment include both community-scale and household-scale
point-of-use (POU) designs.

CDA is to aid in the betterment of environmental conditions thus raising the quality
of life in the capital.

3. Establishment of CINEPLEX In Islamabad


There is a need to provide quality recreational, cultural and entertainment
facilities to achieve what we have planned so far. One of the most important mediums of
entertainment all over the world has been the cinema. Unfortunately this has been on the
decline in Pakistan for last two decades. CDA has taken on itself to bring the cinema
back in a way that it achieves the respect and aura which once allured families to throng
cinema theatres. CDA intends to select a developer for establishing a Cineplex along with
other facilities. This would act as a complete entertainment complex for families,
individuals and foreign visitors. The essential element of the project will be cinema halls.
The facility is envisioned to have restaurants, children’s play areas, arcade games, a
bowling alley, an allinclusive health club facility and many other attractions.

Daman-e-Koh View and Pir Sohawa stands among worldss best picnic spots. “High
quality standards have been maintained in development of these points,” he held. Quoting
example of Lake View Park spread over an area of 40 acres, he said the park comprises
country’s best landscaping and gardens where such rare plants have been provided, which
are not even available at any club or a house of posh sector of Islamabad.

ways that can work effectively in preventing and mitigating the effects of indoor air

While rural health centres run health education meetings every morning.such
meetings can be used as a platform for dissemination of information on indoor air
pollution.
