The document discusses urban development in Kabul, Afghanistan. It notes that Kabul's population has grown exceptionally fast to over 4 million people, with 80% living in informal settlements. Several urban development activities have occurred in Kabul, including new construction projects, renovation of the Kabul zoo, improved water supply systems, and expanded TV and road infrastructure. However, if current urbanization trends continue, the future will be hazardous, as the growing population may lack adequate access to resources like water, sanitation, energy, and employment, potentially increasing food insecurity, traffic, pollution, and mortality rates.

Urban planning is the process of developing and designing urban areas. Encompassed in that process is the use of open land, air, water, and the built environment, including buildings, transportation, economic and social functions. Typically used as part of a larger city plan, an urban plan should tie back to an organization’s mission and vision statements.

There is lack of a proper strategy in implementing PPPs across the Kerala due to which urbanization of Cochin still has a long way to go to cope up with the economic activities which are dependent on infrastructure, such as power, telecom, roads, water supply and mass transportation, coupled with civic infrastructure, such as sanitation and solid waste management.

Bridging the gap through participatory aquifer mappingv2biometrust
The greatest challenge of groundwater management is therefore the need to
embed management responses in the practices of this universe of dispersed actors. Yet our
understanding of Aquifers, the logical “unit” for groundwater management is very poor. While
administrative boundaries help us organize our governance on the surface, aquifers under our
feet don‟t necessarily follow any of these boundaries. How, then, do we evolve a way of
understanding our aquifers and enabling aquifer management responses based on this
understanding? This report details the process of participatory aquifer mapping in Yamalur watershed, in Bangalore.
1. Urban Development in Kabul: An essay
Afghanistan National Development Strategy is a plan to achieve development and progress on
development goals in Afghanistan, established in fifteen years (MDG) and will be used as a
document of poverty reduction strategy in Afghanistan.According to the ANDS Urban Sector is
considered as a subsidiary sector under the name of Urban Development in the third section
namely Infrastructure and Natural Resources. This sector includes Electricity, Water, Roads,
Transport, Mines and Natural Resources. Based on the ANDS, Ministry of Urban Development
Affairs is responsible of planning and leadership of urban policy, supporting municipalities,
urban development and the provision of urban master plans.
Kabul has a population of over 4 million people and has grown exceptionally at fast pace,
reaching a rate of demographic growth around 17 percent per year over several years. The city
has grown mostly through construction of informal settlements, which now shelter about 80
percent of Kabul population and represent a private investment in fixed capital of over 1.3 billion
which does not include land value.
There are several activities conducted in urban development in Kabul such as construction of
new blocks in maccroyan, completion of Kabul zoo renovation. Development of water supply
system is another improvement. The publication of the urban development journal and there is a
good extension of TV broadcasting throughout the Kabul. In addition, construction of road and
development of the canalization system was also another improvement. One of the important
activities within Kabul was the development of new cities in which a good example can be the
New Kabul City design that I think is a great success for all the Kabulies and the country.
It is said if the current trend of urbanization paces in Kabul, the future will be hazardous to all
people living in this city. People may not have access to adequate potable water and sanitation
system. They will experience further energy crises and increasing traffic jam and polluted
environment. The population will increase so fast and there will be big challenge for the
government to find job for all those coming to Kabul. This low employment can result in serious
food insecurity in the city and may increase the mortality rate between children and mothers.
