Serving as the capital of Pakistan since the Sixties, Islamabad was built according to a carefully organized plan, divided into sectors along a grid of clean, tree-lined streets. Founded in the 1960s, it attracts people from all over Pakistan, and hosts a large number of diplomats, politicians and government employees, making it one of the nation's most cosmopolitan and urbanized cities. Islamabad is one of the youngest capital cities in South Asia. Built to replace Karachi as the federal capital in 1960, it was strategically chosen for its central location, proximity to Rawalpindi (military headquarters), and safe distance from coastal threats.
