It lies in the eastern part of the city that was named after the locality of
Korangi. Korangi Town was re-organized as part of
Karachi East District, before
Korangi District was formed. According to the
2023 Pakistani census, the population of Korangi Subdivision is 1,362,998 (1.3 million). The federal government introduced local government reforms in the year 2000, which eliminated the previous "third tier of government" (
administrative divisions) and replaced it with the fourth tier (
districts). The effect in Karachi was the dissolution of the former
Karachi Division, and the merging of its five districts to form a new Karachi City-District with eighteen autonomous constituent towns including Korangi Town. In 2011, the system was disbanded but remained in place for bureaucratic administration until 2015, when the
Karachi Metropolitan Corporation system was reintroduced. In 2015, Korangi Town was re-organized as part of
Karachi East, before it was made part of
Korangi District. == Demographics ==
