Lühikirjeldus: Floods, a major recurrent natural hazard in Pakistan, cause catastrophic damage. These catastrophes are often justified as “natural” disasters, but are these “natural” disasters? This thesis explores how this catastrophe is tied to power structures that reorganize land and water in the service of capital, and increase people’s vulnerability to flooding. This study examines the land use change of the river Ravi plain by focusing on the development of Parkview city, Lahore, and the processes driving it, to explore how the urban expansion contributes to intensifying people’s vulnerability towards flooding. Furthermore, this research analyzes the master plan presented by Ravi Urban Development Authority (RUDA), which is focused on the development of the area around the river Ravi. By focusing on these real estate initiatives, this study uncovers the layered socio-political dimension of these disasters and argues whether we are preventing or causing more disasters
