North Nazimabad Town (Urdu: شمالی ناظم آباد ٹاؤن) lies in the northern part of the city that was named after the suburb of North Nazimabad. North Nazimabad Town was formed in 2001 as part of The Local Government Ordinance 2001, and was subdivided into 10 union councils. The town system was disbanded in 2011,[1] and North Nazimabad Town was re-organized as part of Karachi Central District in 2015.
History[]
2000[]
The federal government introduced local government reforms in the year 2000, which eliminated the previous "third tier of government" (administrative divisions) and replaced it with the fourth tier (districts). The effect in Karachi was the dissolution of the former Karachi Division, and the merging of its five districts to form a new Karachi City-District with eighteen autonomous constituent towns including North Nazimabad Town.
2011[]
In 2011, the system was disbanded but remained in place for bureaucratic administration until 2015, when the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation system was reintroduced.
2015[]
In 2015, North Nazimabad Town was re-organized as part of Karachi Central district.
