Ashiana housing program comes to the fore as a paradigm shift in the housing policy and development of Punjab for two factors i.e. the institutional mechanism as the scheme is being developed by a parastatal body called Punjab Land Development Company (PLDC) instead of the traditional administrative entities and constructed houses are being delivered to the eligible people instead of site-and services schemes. To the core of this significant development are the issues of land allocation for this program. It is through the indicator of land that the future of affordable housing in the most populous province of Pakistan would be analyzed. This research takes up the pivot of land in the housing policy of Punjab.
