Excerpt from the presentation:

Planning has to respect the ecology and the natural environment of the area in which the city is located.
Landuse has to be determined on the basis of social and environmental considerations and not on the basis of land value (or potential land value) alone.
Planning must give priority to the needs of the majority population which in the case of Pakistan belongs to the lower income or lower middle income classes.
Planning has to respect the tangible and intangible cultural heritage of human settlements and of the communities living in them.
