Orangi Cottage Industrial Zone, is located in Orangi Town, in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan.
The Orangi Town Cottage Industrial Zone, spread over an area of 262 acres (1.06 km2), was inaugurated in 1994. Despite the successful balloting the same year, allottees were not given possession of their plots as no development work could be carried out due to various legal issues and unauthorised occupation of land by encroachers.
The scheme was originally divided into nine blocks with a total number of 4,118 plots including 3,949 plots of 200 square yards, 140 commercial plots and 29 amenity plots. The project’s total cost was estimated at Rs1.113 billion.

Famous quotes containing the words cottage, industrial and/or zone:
“It might be seen by what tenure men held the earth. The smallest stream is mediterranean sea, a smaller ocean creek within the land, where men may steer by their farm bounds and cottage lights. For my own part, but for the geographers, I should hardly have known how large a portion of our globe is water, my life has chiefly passed within so deep a cove. Yet I have sometimes ventured as far as to the mouth of my Snug Harbor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“If you do not regard feminism with an uplifting sense of the gloriousness of woman’s industrial destiny, or in the way, in short, that it is prescribed, by the rules of the political publicist, that you should, that will be interpreted by your opponents as an attack on woman.”
—Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)
“There was a continuous movement now, from Zone Five to Zone Four. And from Zone Four to Zone Three, and from us, up the pass. There was a lightness, a freshness, and an enquiry and a remaking and an inspiration where there had been only stagnation. And closed frontiers. For this is how we all see it now.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
