Over the past couple of years, the city of Islamabad has witnessed a series of technological breakthroughs, taking place one after another. The launch of the CDA route planner<\/a>, the digitisation of land records<\/a> and the launch of a new IT Park in Islamabad<\/a> are fine examples in this regard. In fact, we can safely state that Islamabad is on its way to becoming a smart city. Another major development pertaining to the digitisation of Islamabad is the recent launch of the \u2018City Islamabad App\u2019. It\u2019s a success achieved as a result of the joint collaboration of the National Information Technology Board (NITB) and the Islamabad Capital Territory Administration (ICTA). This digital platform has been designed to provide residents of the Islamabad Capital Territory with instant access to a number of e-government services, omitting the need of visiting public offices in person. In this blog, we\u2019ll learn more about this newly launched electronic portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, let\u2019s get the ball rolling<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He further said that upon getting feedback from users, the functionality of the app will be further improved with the addition of more new features.
