On February 17, 2026, the Capital Development Authority (CDA) of Islamabad unveiled a significant beautification and infrastructure improvement initiative aimed at enhancing both residential and commercial sectors across the city. CDA Chairman Mohammad Ali Randhawa emphasized the need for this comprehensive plan during a meeting, stating, "We aim to repair damaged infrastructure, improve public spaces, and enhance the city’s overall appearance." The project will focus on various upgrades, including the renovation of footpaths, construction of cycle tracks, and improvements to lighting and signage, with a commitment to eco-friendly landscaping and restoration of green spaces. This initiative is seen as a vital step towards making Islamabad more accessible and visually appealing, with plans to finalize designs for timely execution. The CDA has also taken a firm stance against illegal constructions and encroachments, which could hinder the beautification efforts, as highlighted in a separate report by ProPakistani on February 16, 2026, where the CDA warned a housing society about unauthorized construction activities.
