Lawaris Karachi ft. Shaheera Jalil Albasit | Ep#154

In this episode, Shaheera Jalil Albasit joins us to talk about the Karachi we know and care about, and why daily life here can feel so difficult. If you’ve ever wondered why your neighbourhood has no parks, struggled with traffic or public transport, or asked who is held responsible when tragedy strikes, you’ll recognize these concerns. We look at how decisions about poverty support, skills, safety and public services affect the people who call this city home. But what could make things better? We discuss whether stronger local government and a different administrative setup could give Karachiites more say in their city, and what a Jantar Mantar-style space for public voices might mean in Pakistan. At heart, this is a conversation about wanting to feel safe, heard, and at home in the city we love.
