History
2000
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 in 2001, and the merging of its five districts to form a new Karachi City-District with eighteen autonomous constituent towns including SITE Town.
2011
In 2011, the system was disbanded but remained in place for bureaucratic administration until 2015, when the
Karachi Metropolitan Corporation system was reintroduced.
2015
In 2015, SITE Town was re-organized as part of
Karachi West district
