The study aims to examine the impact of urbanization on sanitation management in Pakistan, with a specific focus on the case of Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT).The research employs a mixed-methods approach, including a review of relevant literature, field observations, and interviews with key stakeholders. The data collected was analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns and themes in the stakeholders' experiences and perceptions. The findings indicate that urbanization in ICT has led to a significant increase in population density and a corresponding strain on sanitation infrastructure and services. This has resulted in inadequate waste management, lack of access to safe and clean water, and increased incidents of waterborne and vector-borne diseases. The study also highlights the need for a more integrated and holistic approach to sanitation management in ICT, which would involve increased investment in infrastructure and services, as well as community engagement and education. Furthermore, the study suggests that there is a need for a more sustainable approach towards sanitation management which will focus on the community involvement and empowerment. The findings of this research has contributed to the importance of addressing the challenges of urbanization and sanitation management in Pakistan, particularly in the context of ICT, in order to improve public health and living standards for residents.
