This paper explores the application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in deciphering the urban morphology and spatial logic of the Defence Housing Authority (DHA) Multan. As a paradigmatic example of modern, planned urbanism in Pakistan’s periphery, DHA Multan represents a shift from organic, congested city centers to regimented, grid-based spatial configurations. Through the lens of GIS mapping, this study deconstructs the administrative entity into layers of infrastructure, topography, and land-use dynamics. The research utilizes hypothetical spatial data to demonstrate how GIS serves not merely as a navigational tool, but as a mechanism for governance, capital accumulation, and socio-spatial segregation.
The implementation of the GIS map serves as a "smart solution" for the project's vast 9,500-acre landscape. Transparency:
