Builders of Modern Lahore
Lahore is often celebrated for its Mughal grandeur and colonial architecture, but the city we inhabit today is also the result of visionaries, planners, architects, educators, entrepreneurs and public leaders who shaped its modern identity.
This session explores the individuals and institutions that transformed Lahore in the 20th and 21st centuries – from urban planning and infrastructure to cultural revival, education, literature and civic life.
