11 cities in this atlas
Pakistan's political and demographic centers diverge: Islamabad serves as the capital, yet Lahore stands as the country's largest city, not the seat of government. Beyond these two, settlements such as Karachi, Peshawar, Faisalabad, and Rawalpindi extend across the country, alongside smaller places like Bannu, Battagram, and Muzaffarābād, showing a spread of population centers not concentrated around a single administrative hub.
