This picture is of an important city in Pakistan. Can you guess which? And whether you can or not, what strikes you as being wrong with this picture?
Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors

It looks like Abbottabad or Mansehra to me. It’s the unplanned sprawl and deforestation, which is obviously wrong with this city.
Some comments from the ATP Facebook Page:
– “I don’t know will found it and tell”
– “Balakot i think after October’05 Earthquake……..!”
– “its either ov the 2…balakot n muzaffarabad…..after the quake of 2005….”
– “Muzaffarabad or Balakot.”
– “shekiupura…”
– “Muzafrabad ?”
it seems somewhere in the north, most likely somewhere in the nwfp. whereever it is, though, transportation must be by mules. there are no signs of any roads for mechanized transport!
Balakot is already guessed. I would guess Muzaffarabad. Visible problems are deforestation. Absence of urban planning.
-and where are all the roads , gallian and boulevards ??
