Hayatabad is a suburb on the western outskirts of Peshawar,[1] the capital of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. It borders the now defunct Tribal Areas and is close to Torkham, which is the major border crossing point between Pakistan and Afghanistan. The suburb is one of the most developed residential societies of Peshawar, and is home to several of its educational, sports and health institutions. Hayatabad is named after Hayat Sherpao, a Pakistani Pashtun politician.[2]
Geography
Hayatabad was developed as a residential area in Peshawar in the late 1970s. Primarily residential, it also contains an Industrial Estate.
The government has divided Hayatabad into seven numbered phases. Each phase is subdivided into lettered sectors, A to H. The suburb can be accessed via three routes from Jamrud Road and one from the Ring Road. Hayatabad is the western most terminus of the TransPeshawar bus rapid transit line.
