This policy brief addresses Pakistan’s chronic road-level planning issues, including inconsistent elevations, poor inter-agency coordination, and lack of standardized benchmarks. These challenges contribute to urban flooding, infrastructure deterioration, and rising public health concerns due to stagnant water and poor drainage. The brief emphasizes the need for a centralized authority to oversee road construction, adopt fixed benchmarks, enforce accountability, and use advanced technology for sustainable infrastructure. Drawing lessons from developed nations, the policy proposes integrated urban planning and stakeholder collaboration. Implementing these strategies will improve infrastructure resilience, reduce health risks, and foster economic growth across urban and rural areas of Pakistan.
