Islamabad replaced Karachi as the capital of Pakistan in 1960. The decision to move the capital was made to promote development in the northern regions of the country and to provide a more centralized location. Islamabad was specifically designed and constructed to serve as the new capital, featuring modern architecture and urban planning.
