In 1953, Michel Ecochard 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 kilometres from the city centre, working within the larger Greater Karachi Resettlement Plan of the Greek planner, Doxiadis. This report outlines the problem of refugees in Karachi and offers solutions largely based on Ecochard’s recent work in Morocco. A section of the report is comprised of a photographic review of some of that work.
