'''Islamabad''' serves as the capital city of [[Pakistan]], ranking as the country's tenth-most populous urban centre with a population exceeding 11 lakh residents. The city enjoys federal administration as part of the [[Islamabad Capital Territory]], and its metropolitan population surpasses 23 lakh inhabitants. Islamabad was conceived as a planned city during the 1960s and formally established in 1967 along the [[Margalla Hills]], thereby succeeding [[Karachi]] as Pakistan's national capital.{{refn|group=A|name=a|[[Rawalpindi]], adjacent to Islamabad, served as the ''de-facto'' national capital from 1959 to 1967 while Islamabad was under construction.}} The city is situated north of [[Rawalpindi]], which represents northern Punjab's largest city, and together they constitute a [[Islamabad–Rawalpindi metropolitan area|metropolitan area]] with over 57 lakh residents.

The urban planning of Islamabad was masterminded by Greek architect [[Constantinos Apostolou Doxiadis]], who developed a comprehensive master plan dividing the city into eight distinct zones. These zones encompass administrative areas, [[Diplomatic Enclave, Islamabad|diplomatic enclaves]], residential sectors, educational and industrial districts, commercial centres, as well as rural and green spaces. The [[Islamabad Metropolitan Corporation]] oversees the administration of these areas with support from the [[Capital Development Authority (Pakistan)|Capital Development Authority]]. Islamabad distinguishes itself through its extensive parks and forests, notably the [[Margalla Hills National Park]] and [[Shakarparian]], and is home to several prominent landmarks including the country's flagship [[Faisal Mosque]], [[Pakistan Monument]], and [[D-Chowk (Islamabad)|Democracy Square]].<ref name="Noyes Mass">{{cite book|title=Back to Pakistan: A Fifty-Year Journey|publisher=Rowman & Littlefield Publishers|isbn=978-1442213197|url=https://archive.org/details/backtopakistanfi0000mass|url-access=registration|author=Leslie Noyes Mass|page=[https://archive.org/details/backtopakistanfi0000mass/page/170 170]|date=15 September 2011}}</ref><ref name="Ravi Kalia">{{cite book|title=Pakistan: From the Rhetoric of Democracy to the Rise of Militancy|publisher=Routledge|location=Pakistan|isbn=978-0415670401|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=86b0MINe_gsC&pg=PA83|author=Ravi Kalia|page=83|date=21 April 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://tribune.com.pk/story/596791/national-monument-structure-reflects-history-of-pakistan/|title=National Monument: Structure reflects history of Pakistan – The Express Tribune|date=29 August 2013|website=The Express Tribune|language=en-US|access-date=13 June 2016|archive-date=28 October 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191028155713/https://tribune.com.pk/story/596791/national-monument-structure-reflects-history-of-pakistan/|url-status=live}}</ref>

== Toponymy ==
Islamabad derives its name from two components: "Islam" and "abad," literally translating to "City of Islam." The Arabic word "Islam" means "submission [to God]," reflecting Pakistan's state religion, while the Persian suffix "-abad" denotes "cultivated place," indicating an inhabited settlement or city.<ref name="Adrian Room">{{cite book |last1=Room |first1=Adrian|author-link=Adrian Room|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=M1JIPAN-eJ4C&pg=PA177|title=Placenames of the World|date=13 December 2005|publisher=McFarland & Company|isbn=978-0786422487|page=177}}</ref> During the early modern period, this nomenclature was employed during the Mughal era, particularly by Emperor [[Aurangzeb]], who designated numerous towns across India with similarly themed names.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Heath |first1=John E. |author-link=John Everett-Heath |title=Oxford Concise Dictionary of World Place Names |date=2017 |publisher=Oxford University Press |isbn=978-0-19-255646-2 |edition=3rd |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=qgJCDwAAQBAJ |language=en |quote=...the Pakistanis chose ‘City of Islam’ from the Arabic islām ‘submission to God’ and ābād.
