IT IS A FAKE STORY!!!
Just search for
The Fake Story - World's 2nd Best Mayor
in google to know the truth about this fake story.
Actually he is #57. Anyways if nine zeo (90) is considered as number one for them then #57 is still less then 90 :D So it is possible. |

Please dont misguide forum members Mustafa Kamal second best mayor in the world
KARACHI, Nov 9: The Foreign Policy magazine of the United States has chosen Karachi Nazim Syed Mustafa Kamal as the second among the best three mayors in the world for 2008.
Berlin Mayor Klaus Wowereit and Chongqing Mayor Wang Hongju were the other two “mayors of the moment”, a press release issued by the Karachi City District Government said.
The magazine said: “No city globalises on its own, but with shrewd investments and smart urban planning, a mayor can help turn a regional player into a global powerhouse. Here’s how three of the world’s top mayors are climbing the ladder.”
The ‘Foreign Policy’, which is published by the State Group, a division of the Washington Post.Newsweek Interactive, LLC, said that the mayor of Karachi was an unlikely poster child for innovative urban planning.
It said: “The 36-year-old Syed Mustafa Kamal governs a city that’s more often in the news for religious violence than cosmopolitan ways. But the hard-charging Kamal is looking to change all that. He’s courting foreign investment, encouraging international ties, and boosting the city’s tourism.”
According to the magazine, Mr Kamal is not shy about his goals: He has said he wants to turn Karachi into the next Dubai. His ‘Green Karachi’ project aims to plant thousands of trees in the city. He has threatened to arrest anyone who tries to cut down the new saplings, it added.
Mr Kamal, however, gives all credit for this feat to his party leader Altaf Hussain who, he says, selected the representatives from lower and middle classes that represent 98 per cent of the country’s population.
In a statement, he said it was also the recognition of the philosophy of the MQM and the 30-year struggle of its leader.
He said that in the past there was no concept of ownership in Karachi. However, “we owned this city and carried out development works on a large scale. A lot of work is still to be done and the city is still far from the concept of an ideal city.”
Mr Kamal said that despite all the obstacles and challenges and difficulties faced by his team, he had never let down the people and would not do so in future.
He said there was no single command and control authority for Karachi, adding that 13 organisations were controlling the city’s municipal affairs which had made the situation very difficult for its development. “We have contacted everyone from top to bottom who has anything to do with the policy and decision making and now they should pay attention to this.”—APP

doctorpk your reply can't justify the story on link
pkpolitics.com/2008/11/12/the-fake-story-worlds-2nd-best-mayor
or just look at article "The Fake Story - World’s 2nd Best Mayor" in "pkpolitics DOT com" (if the above link does not appear)
It refers to email reply from

FOREIGN POLICY magazine
where the replying persons denys the raking.

cosmo I have already seen that, it says
Syed Mustafa Kamal Mayor of Karachi (#57)
The new mayor of Karachi is an unlikely poster child for innovative urban planning. The 36-year-old Syed Mustafa Kamal governs a city that’s more often in the news for religious violence than cosmopolitan ways. But the hard-charging Kamal is looking to change all that. He’s courting foreign investment, encouraging international ties, and boosting the city’s tourism. Kamal isn’t shy about his goals: He has said he wants to turn Karachi into the “next Dubai.” His Green Karachi project aims to plant thousands of trees in the city. No stranger to Karachi’s bare-knuckled politics, Kamal isn’t letting anything stand in the way of his grand plans: He has threatened to arrest anyone who tries to cut down the new saplings.
No where it mentions the 2nd postion for him, If some one can find I will appreciate, how can it be that the offcial website has no mention about the Mayor Rankings ,strange |

hav a look -----Reply from Foreign Policy Magazine-----
Dear Sir/Madam,
To clarify, the mayor's mention in our magazine was not a ranking. Although Kamal was mentioned in a sidebar called 'Mayors of the Moment' in the article, 'The 2008 Global Cities Index,' this mention was not meant as a ranking per se. Rather, we meant to highlight city executives doing innovative things against enormous odds. While we applaud Kamal's efforts, his mention in our magazine was only a small part of a larger article that ranked the world's most global cities (Karachi ranked #57).
I hope this explains your question. Please feel free to reach me with any concerns or comments.
Sincerely,
xxxx xxxxxxx

Mustafa Kamal Jumped from 57 to 2nd Yes according to mentioned website:
No city globalizes on its own. But with shrewd investments and smart
urban planning, a mayor can help turn a regional player into a global
powerhouse. Here’s how three of the world’s top mayors are climbing the
ladder:
1. Klaus Wowereit Mayor of Berlin (#17)
2. Syed Mustafa Kamal Mayor of Karachi (#57)
3. Wang Hongju Mayor of Chongqing (#59)
According to this website Mustafa Kamal climbed from no 57 to 2nd. I think we should be proud on Mustafa Kamal success instead of jealous of his top ranking.
