[edit] History of Karachi skyscrapers
Karachi, Pakistan does not have many skyscrapers due to a low floor space index. Most of the high rise buildings are in the southern portion of the city, where space is at a premium. Permission to construct taller buildings is usually denied due to governmental concerns over the stress on the infrastructure. A building above 24 meters is classified as a high-rise.

With many towers currently under construction, there are many towers still awaiting to be approved by the city government. These towers are being built by many private construction companies awaiting orders to start construction.
