In 1953 Michel Écochard undertook a mission on behalf of the United Nations to report on the question of refugees in Karachi. This was followed by planning studies on Landhi Satellite Town, about 25 kilometers from the city center, working within the larger Greater Karachi Resettlement Plan of the Greek planner, Doxiadis. This small album focuses on the existing living conditions of refugees in Karachi and proposes solutions largely based on Écochard’s recent experience in Morocco.
