The multi-billion Safe City project of Lahore is the biggest project in Asia and is four times larger than the already operational Islamabad safe city project. According to the Punjab Safe City Authority (PSCA), this project was launched in May 2016 at Lahore.

The Safe City Project includes the use of facial recognization software, number plate identification software and a mobile command software center for public gatherings and other purposes. There are more than 8,000 cameras installed all over Lahore for the security of the citizens. The cameras have also been installed on the vehicles that would support the command and control center for the surveillance of the city against any crime or terrorist activity.
According to the reports the project cost was around 13.5 billion. The Cheif Minister Punjab has also announced that this Safe City Project will also be initiated in other cities of Punjab including Rawalpindi, Sargodha, Multan, Bahawalpur, Gujranwala, and Faisalabad.
