In Lahore, Improving Livelihoods and Preserving Heritage Go Hand in Hand

The Walled City of Lahore Authority (WCLA), an agency of the Government of Punjab, has been working to restore these neighborhoods, assisted by a World Bank project and valuable technical support from the Aga Khan Trust for Culture. Beginning from the Delhi Gate, the WCLA has restored a 383 meter-long heritage trail, leading up to Chowk Purani Kotwali. It encompasses a complete restoration of heritage architecture, and a replacement of infrastructure and services including underground telecommunications, electricity, gas, water and sewerage. Also included are encroachment removal, street paving, and street furniture.
