Khalid Sherdil (Late)

The Khalid Sherdil Chair in Urban Policy Development has been created in BIPP to honour Khalid Sherdil, former Director, BIPP in recognition of his outstanding contribution to establishing BIPP and advancing its mandate to promote evidence based rational policy making in Pakistan. He, as CEO, PUU assiduously and fervently advocated and prompted the need to fully harness the potential for urban development as engine of economic growth in Pakistan. The Punjab Urban Unit and its spread all across the country speaks eloquently of Khalid's contribution.

The Chair while undertaking interdisciplinary urban policy research and development under the stewardship of a distinguished scholar in urban policy and planning, will also offer scholarship sponsored by "Friends of Khalid" to a deserving student to support completion of his/her degree program.
