History
Model Town, established in 1922, was based on the philosophy of Dewan Khem Chand and the Garden city movement. The plan to found Model Town as a cooperative society was put forward at a meeting in Lahore's Town Hall under the chairmanship of Rai Bahadur Ganga Ram. Towards this end, the government was requested to provide a 2000-acre (4 km2) plot of land.
The residents of Model Town were retired judges, rich businessmen, traders, and upmarket store-owners. Many high court judges, doctors, and engineers also moved to Model Town from the city. The communist leader Baba Pyare Lal "BPL" Bedi, lived there, too. In March 2015, Saifur Rehman was elected president of the Model Town Society, marking his second term in office.
