"The Karachi Development Authority was successor of Karachi Improvement Trust and launched its first scheme at the junction of National Stadium & Karsaz in front of Agha Khan Hospital, Liaquat National Hospital & Liaquat Memorial Library known as Dhoraji Colony KDA Scheme 1-A.
After independence in 1947, KMC was superseded by the Karachi Improvement Trust (KIT), which was created to help manage the city after the influx of hundreds of thousands of refugees from India.
KIT developed the first master plan for the city after independence, in conjunction with the Swedish firm Merz Randal Vetten (MRV).
KDA is also responsible for approving master plans for private housing societies within the territorial limit of Karachi City.
