It would be a high density highly commercial corridor with some land reserved for mixed uses including residential land uses and some for industrial based commercial activities. The commercial buildings shall be 12 story tall buildings with one or two basement floors for parking, as appropriate and as needed for the planned land uses. 140 feet wide major roads have been planned to run along the KNB ROW with service roads towards the corridor. Also about 180 to 200 feet strip has been planned for high end land uses. Where the proposed activities are of low height, all such activities have been segregated from the high end high rise land uses by providing appropriate roads in between, with excess to all such activities through 120 feet wide major roads with service road towards the Corridor. These 120 feet wide roads shall separate the Corridor from the adjacent Taiser Town Scheme on either side.
In future, KNB Corridor would prove to be another economic base and growth pole of Karachi Metropolitan City will make the township another Metropolitan Center of Karachi District, relieving pressure on the existing CBD and other inner city areas.
