The paper analyses the determinants of intra-urban residential mobility. A maximum likelihood logit model is used to estimate the probability of mobility using data on more than 6000 households in Karachi, Pakistan. The paper extends the basic disequilibrium model of residential mobility to allow for desired changes in housing consumption, tenurial status and unit price differences. Life cycle effects are explicitly incorporated. Variables like changes in workplace location, migration status, location specific income are included to capture the peculiar features of housing markets in developing countries. The empirical results confirm the importance of the above extensions to the standard neo-classical model of intra-urban residential !nobility in the context of Karachi.
