Forgotten streets, Karachi - a photo on Flickriver

            Zaibunnisa Street is a famous street in Karachi, Pakistan. Located in the neighbourhood of Saddar, in the heart of the city, it is one of Karachi's oldest and historic streets. It was originally known as Elphinstone Street, in honour of a British official. In 1970, its name was changed to "Zaibunnisa Street" by the government of Karachi, in honour of Zaib-un-Nissa Hamidullah, an influential Pakistani journalist and writer.

Zaibunnisa Street is one of Karachi's most renowned shopping districts. In addition, some consulates and hotels are also found on the street. It is one of the city's most vital arteries, and, as such, is subjected to a lot of pollution from transport.

Before the population and pollution explosions in Karachi,  It was called Karachi's Piccadilly Circus by foreigners, as it is lined with historic colonial buildings from the British Raj era.
