Using photography to discover a far-away, fascinating city in the Punjab, the fertile plain at the heart of Pakistan. Multan is a centuries-old settlement where history and renovation, wealth and abandonment, conservation and the will to change come together.

The images in this series are part of a survey conducted by a group of researchers coordinated by the Milan Polytechnic Foundation — architects, engineers and industrial designers — as part of the "Sustainable, Social, Economical, Environmental Revitalization of the Historical Core of Multan City" initiative.

The project has allowed to define a set of issues and opportunities, as well as an executive program to employ resources that prioritise the renovation of local infrastructure.
