Allama Iqbal Town () (also known as Iqbal Town or abbreviated as AIT) is a commercial and high end residential locality in the south-western Lahore. It is named after Allama Iqbal, the national poet of Pakistan. Development was started in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It was previously famed for its name in Urdu, 'Sola Soo Acre سولہ سو ایکڑ' (meaning 1600 acres), due to its area. Its extent is marked by Multan Road to the west and north, and by Wahdat Road to the south. Iqbal Town has been home to famous actors and actresses of Pakistan's film industry, Lollywood. Because the Shahnoor and Bari studios are situated very close to the area, many film actors and actresses used to live here in the past. However, most of them have now moved to the posh suburban areas of the city. Neighboring localities constitute of Wahdat Colony, Ichhra, Samanabad, Garden Town, Mustafa Town, Sabzazar and Said Pur. Major markets (broad ways) are Karim Market (adjacent to Umer Block and Karim Block) - famous for the garments shops located there) and Moon Market (Dubai Chowk). The oldest open university in Pakistan Allama Iqbal Open University's Lahore campus is located in Raza Block of Allama Iqbal Town. It also houses the Karim Market nearby. Allama Iqbal Town consists of a total of 22 residential divisions called 'blocks' listed alphabetically: Asif, Badr, College, Gulshan, Huma, Jahanzeb, Kamran, Karim, Kashmir, Mehran, Muslim, Nargis, Neelam, Nishtar, Nizam, Pak, Raza, Ravi, Sikander, Sutlej, Umar and Zeenat. == Gulshan-e-Iqbal Park == (詳細はウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Allama Iqbal Town」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
