Takht Lahori

Lahore is Pakistan’s second largest city in terms ofpopulation, and due to its rich culture and history, is widely recognized asits beating heart. In fact it was over 400 years ago, in Akbar’s reign, thatLahore touched the zenith of its glory, becoming the capital of the Mughal Empire,and taking up the name, “Takht Lahori”,meaning “Lahore; the throne”.

However, the present day Lahore is also Pakistan’s mostpolluted city, and has severe traffic congestion issues due to a complete lackof quality public transport. Therefore I have designed an articulated, highcapacity, zero emission bus – called “TakhtLahori” - to solve some of thecity’s traffic and air pollution problems.
