2007 / 2008
This project expects the construction of a new city that will shelter more than three million inhabitants on the site of Deh Sabz (40,000ha), located north of Kabul.
The years of conflict in Afghanistan have caused important migrations. After the fall of the Taliban regime in 2002, around three million Afghan expatriates returned to their country. The construction of the new city will ensure access both to social and hygiene facilities for the Kabuli people. Over a secondary period of construction, the centre of Kabul city will be renovated.
