VI - Read the passage and decide if the following statements are true (T) or false (F).
A NEW CAPITAL
When the new State of Pakistan was founded in 1947, Karachi acted as the Capital city. However, it was difficult for Karachi to remain in this role due to a number of drawbacks such as the climate and the State of the existing buildings. Rather than try to overcome these drawbacks, the government decided to create a new Capital city. In 1959, a commission was established to investigate the possible locations of this new city. The advisor appointed to the commission was Dr Doxiadis, a famous architect and city planner.
Dr Doxiadis and his colleagues looked at the various locations. They then produced a report suggesting two possible areas: one just outside Karachi and the other to the north of Rawalpindi. Both locations had advantages as well as disadvantages. Which site was it to be?
The choice between these two options was made after consideration of many factors, such as transportation, the availability of water, economic factors, and factors of national interest. Finally, the site
north of Rawalpindi was chosen and on the 24th February 1960. The new Capital was given the name of ‘Islamabad’ and a master plan was drawn up. This master plan divided the area into three different sections: Islamabad itself, neighbouring Rawalpindi, and the national park.

Today Islamabad is a thriving city of about 1 million people. It offers a healthy climate, a pollution free atmosphere, plenty of water, and many green spaces. It has wide, tree-lined streets, elegant public buildings, and well-organised bazaars and shopping centres. The new Capital is a superb example of good urban planning.
