UN-Habitat: Half of Afghanistan’s Population Could Live in Cities by 2060
UN-Habitat says nearly half of Afghanistan’s population could be living in urban areas by 2060, highlighting the need for better planning and sustainable urban development.
The UN agency says Afghanistan’s cities are expected to face growing pressure on housing, water, sanitation and other essential services as urban populations increase.
UN-Habitat has called for stronger urban planning and better management of resources to help Afghan cities respond to future population growth.
The agency says sustainable urban development can improve living conditions and help address challenges linked to water, waste management and access to basic services.
The projection highlights the importance of preparing Afghanistan’s cities for long-term population growth and ensuring that urban development benefits communities.
