Conclusion
At present, there is no country-wide qualityof life reporting system in Pakistan.
The only efforts at measuring cities UN-Habitats Global Urban Indicators Programand ADB Cities Data Book - have limitedscope.
They are restricted to a maximum of twocities
These exercises are not carried out on yearlybasis
They have their own agenda.
