👋 Hello, I’m Dr. Khydija Wakil
I see cities as living, breathing poems—sometimes beautiful, sometimes chaotic, always in need of care.
As an urban planner, researcher, author, and entrepreneur, my journey has been about rethinking how we plan, feel, and protect the spaces we call home.
I founded City Pulse Pvt Ltd to turn big ideas into practical solutions—whether it’s tackling visual pollution, reimagining urban farming in the era of climate change, or creating digital tools that bring maps to life. My work isn’t just about planning—it’s about empathy mapped onto space.
Through my books—like the internationally acclaimed Visual Pollution: Concepts, Practices and Management Framework and my Urdu collection Khaam – خام– I blend research with storytelling, weaving together voices of women, youth, elders, differently-abled citizens, and all those often left unheard in our cities.
🌱 To me, every project, paper, or poem is a step toward one dream: cities that don’t just work, but belong to everyone.
