Similar Garment Cities are successfully operating in China, Singapore, Vietnam and Bangladesh. India is setting up large industrial parks for the same purpose.

Under the Trade Policy of 2003, it was envisaged that three Garment Cities would be established at Lahore, Karachi and Faisalabad to develop state of art facilities for garment manufacturers.
