Assam being a travel enthusiast believes in a sustainable travel lifestyle.

It is to be noted that he originally hails from the city of gardens- Lahore. Being born and raised there, he had not visited Karachi till the age of 25.
Even though the graphic designer has worked on similar maps for Islamabad and Lahore, he thinks Karachi was the hardest city to map out. Assam took the news to his Instagram and wrote, “It was the most challenging map that I’ve drawn so far because Karachi has a mini country living inside it.”

In addition to this, he thinks that Karachi has the utmost potential to be the most developed city in the world like Dubai and New York.
