Nazimabad
Nazimabad () is a middle-class suburb of Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan.〔(Liaquatabad Town - Government of Karachi )〕
==History==
Before the independence of Pakistan, the area of the present day Nazimabad was semi-arid land with small Sindhi and Balochi villages nearly 10 KM from downtown Karachi. The Government of Pakistan bought the land in 1950 from the local landlord and tribal leader Masti Brohi Khan in order to resettle the Muslim refugees from India that were living in tent cities in central Karachi. Nazimabad was planned and developed starting in 1952 to and the land was sold at reduced prices to the refugees. This suburb was named after Khawaja Nazimuddin who was the second Governor-General of Pakistan, and later the second Prime Minister as well.
In late 1958, the northern area of Nazimabad, was to be developed as Timuria by Karachi Improvement Trust (KIT). The name North Nazimabad became popular and was later adopted instead of Timuria.〔(A story behind every name )〕 North Nazimabad was developed as a residential area for federal government employees. But in the early 1960s the capital of Pakistan was transferred from Karachi to newly developed capital Islamabad.
In the 1950s, Nazimabad was developed in the outskirts of Karachi and now its in the central part of the city due to urban sprawl. Nazimabad was considered a upper middle class neighborhood in the 1960-1970s and later it became lower middle class area as many upper class residents moved to the newer developed neighborhoods of Karachi
