New Karachi Town (Urdu: نیو کراچی ٹاؤن) lies in the northern-eastern part of Karachi, in Gulberg Town. It was formed when katchi abadis were resettled following the 1958 coup d'état. In 2001 it was subdivided into 13 union councils. The town system was disbanded in 2011,[1] and New Karachi Town was re-organized as part of Karachi Central District in 2015.
