Drawing from both international best practices and a thorough analysis of local urban conditions, this publication aims to address current safety challenges while promoting safer, more accessible, and vibrant streetscapes.

This publication is constrained to the Afghan context will serve as a resource for Afghan city planners, engineers, and policymakers guiding the development of resilient and inclusive urban environments throughout Afghanistan. The recommendations made in this document build upon the already existing documents developed by MUHD and Sasaki (2022) for various Afghan cities.
