Success Story

The Park & Horticulture Authority has emerged as a model organization on many counts. To begin with is its effectiveness. The fruits of its endeavours are remarkable and visible. It has beautified roadsides, created and improved parks, planted trees and spread flowers in Lahore. Over a short span of time, the Authority has systematically expanded the scope of its activities, in order to better realize its mission statement-marking Lahore greener, brighter and cleaner. Apart from horticulture, today the PHA contributes in many other ways to Lahore. It made the famous Food Street in the once-rundown Gawal Mandi, giving the traditional cuisine haunt a thorough face-lift. The past glory of Old Anarkali and The Mall has successfully been restored. Dry fountains have been revived and new ones added, sports and recreation facilities provided at public places. By lighting up important buildings, monuments and landmarks, PHA has made Lahore a pretty city by night. PHA has also enhanced the useful civic features like road signs, public toilets, bus stops and flower shops.

For public entertainment, PHA organizes a number of festivities and shows. Another important achievement is outdoor advertisement. The Authority efforts in this direction have not only made billboards and roadside advertisement more attractive but have also enabled it to generate enough resources to carry out its multifarious project without any extra burden on public funds.
