According to the plan, the CDA would also sell out a few floors of parking plazas in the Blue Area to meet the construction cost of the entire project. CDA officials said that an estimated 350,000 vehicles enter and leave Islamabad every day, while the capital’s residents own an equivalent number and the growth rate of vehicle ownership in Islamabad is much higher than the national growth rate. It is relevant to note here that in almost all markets and centers of Islamabad, the visitors face a parking issue mainly because of the unplanned growth of markets.
