SITE Town (Urdu:سائٹ ٹاؤن), located in the southern part ofKarachi, Pakistan, is named after theSindh Industrial & Trading Estate. It was established in 2001 under the Local Government Ordinance and subdivided into nineunion councils. In 2011, the town system was abolished, and SITE Town became part ofKarachi West District. However, following Karachi's reorganisation into 26 towns in 2022, SITE became part of Kemari District, afterKemari District was carved out ofKarachi West District in 2020.[2][3][4][5]
SITE Town was located western part ofKarachi,Pakistan and was named after theSindh Industrial and Trading Estate (SITE) area.[1] The town was bordered byGadap Town to the north,Liaquatabad Town andNorth Nazimabad Town to the east across the Orangi Nala stream,Lyari Town andSaddar Town to the south across theLyari River andKiamari Town to the west. Also neighbouring the town wereBaldia Town andOrangi Town to the northwest.
The federal government introduced local government reforms in the year 2000, which eliminated the previous "third tier of government" (administrative divisions) and replaced it with the fourth tier (districts). The effect in Karachi was the dissolution of the formerKarachi Division in 2001, and the merging of its five districts to form a new Karachi City-District with eighteen autonomous constituent towns including SITE Town.
In 2011, the system was disbanded but remained in place for bureaucratic administration until 2015, when theKarachi Metropolitan Corporation system was reintroduced.
In 2015, SITE Town was re-organized as part ofKarachi West district.
