Orangi Town
Orangi Town ((シンド語:اُورنگي ٽاؤن) ) is a town in the northwestern part of Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. It is bordered by New Karachi Town to the north across the Shahrah-e-Zahid Hussain, Gulberg Town to the east across the Gujjar Nala stream, Liaquatabad Town to the south, and SITE Town to the west. There are 13 official neighborhoods, each with its own council, which has allowed the township to build its own sewer system. Additionally, as only of 18 districts of Karachi, Orangi has government representation, albeit in the lowest tier of the government. It is a lower class settlement with basic amenities of life available to most of the people. Only some parts of Orangi Town can be characterized as a slum.〔http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2007/05/dharavi-mumbai-slum/jacobson-text?fs=seabed.nationalgeographic.com〕〔(National Geographic: Dharavi, Mumbai's Shadow City )〕〔:File:Principaux Bidonvilles.png#Raw data〕 Furthermore, Orangi comprises several new developed middle class areas and housing-societies which are still considered slums for statistical purposes.
