Kabul Urban Design Framework Receives AIA 2020 Regional & Urban Design Award
The American Institute of Architects Honors Sasaki's visionary roadmap for Kabul, Afghanistan
A visionary roadmap to guide a historic capital city emerging from decades of conflict towards a model of sustainable, equitable, and resilient development, tackling physical and social dimensions head-on
喀布尔城市设计框架
Today, as Afghanistan looks forward to the 21st century, our design team is working with the Afghan government to realize the promise of this young democracy
阿富汗喀布尔城市设计框架在总统阿什拉夫·加尼（President Ashraf Ghani）及城市发展和住房部的领导下进行，按照项目所定下的目标和路线图，喀布尔将朝着可持续的方向发展，成为提倡平等和具备抗灾力的城市。
项目以喀布尔整体的发展和增长为前提，定制综合的城市设计框架，并特别为达鲁拉曼大道（Dar ul-Aman Boulevard）和马苏德大道（Massoud Boulevard）两条标志性的走廊进行设计。除以基础设施、住房、交通及可持续性等能够塑造城市外貌的元素为焦点外，项目更突破常规，探讨妇女地位、高等教育和文化保护这些与当今喀布尔的物质和社会结构息息相关的主题。
This vision recognizes Afghanistan’s rich cultural heritage while looking to the future
With an expected population growth of more than 2 million by 2025, how can this growth be accommodated while protecting the region’s ecological systems?
Kabul has undergone distinct eras of sociocultural development
多样化的文化背景、丰富的生态系统和动荡的政治局面，无不构成喀布尔自成一格的城市特征，经历二十年建立公民社会的进程后，这城市已准备好迎接更宽广的未来。通过一系列设计手段，项目旨在将喀布尔发展为一个包罗万象的大都会，为达到目标，设计团队必须克服重重挑战：城中超过七成土地开发状况混乱，全市人口也在仅仅十年增加了两百多万，项目除针对性地解决这些难题，也提出富有远见、满足二十一世纪需要的城市增长策略，务求实现以下几个主要目的：在地下蓄水层以外的地方进行开发，以免对环境造成破坏；恢复农业带；以及物色理想地点成立教育机构和经济开发区。因应灵活而因地制宜的设计导则，城市将能呈现多样化的发展类型，为日后更多开发活动提供可靠有效的执行机制。项目期望综合的城市设计导则能与个别地块的构思设计相辅相成，发挥协同作用，因此在构思如何把非正式聚居地融入城市时，这一套规划方针同样适用。
Distinct features across the city come together to create a unified vision
The plan includes several strategies to reconcile urban growth, including protecting natural systems, restoring ecological functions, and preserving local habitats
Snowmelt from the western mountains and fertile agricultural lands to the east bookend Kabul’s regional ecology
Ecologically vital sites, such as the Hashmat Khan Lake, are protected from encroachment and transformed into cultural and recreational amenities
The Urban Design Framework establishes the lake as a conservation district that will support ecological regeneration and social investment for its surrounding communities

The Urban Design Framework establishes the lake as a conservation district that will support ecological regeneration and social investment for its surrounding communities
The Framework outlines strategies that direct urban expansion away from areas of ecological importance and reinforce existing networks to provide social amenities for all
Commercial and recreational amenities around the city will be connected by a variety of transportation options
The framework ensures the connection between agriculture and the city remain tightly linked, leveraging the existing agricultural belt east of central Kabul as a crucial component of this relationship
除以上的综合设计框架之外，项目也对达鲁拉曼大道和马苏德大道提出设计愿景。设计团队为这两条显要的城中走廊赋予全新形象，并且将之定性为城市和社会复兴的重要引擎，借由各种各样的功能内容，喀布尔丰富多彩的一面能向全球展示。
Expand Access to the City Kabul’s corridors are critical to this Framework’s vision of investing in the existing city fabric and promoting compact, sustainable development
A citywide bus rapid transit (BRT) system will further catalyze economic investment in Kabul
The BRT system will ensure that 75% of the population will have access to transit within a 10-minute walk
The framework ensures that everyone feels safe in the city, including women
Kabul’s hills are threatened by informal growth that house the city’s most vulnerable population. The Hilltop Conservation Zone delineates a city-wide, legally protected ecological network.
Bagh-e Kabul is a stage for deeper reflections of Afghan history and culture, capturing the aspirations of a youthful democracy
The development of varying types of residential space in the city must accommodate expected increases in urban populations
Population distribution across Kabul
With two-thirds of the city’s population living in organic neighborhoods, growth strategies must consider how to best integrate these neighborhoods with the rest of the city

Improvements to public facilities and infrastructure are prioritized in areas vulnerable to natural hazards or with low-quality housing
喀布尔城市设计框架为未来的城市开发进程提供了明确方向，配合实际可行的实施策略，阿富汗全国上下定能享受丰硕的发展成果，为下一代创造更多机会。
The Development Plan will guide the city’s evolution over the next two decades, along with Corridor Guidelines, Open Space Typologies, Urban Design Typologies, and Landscape Planning Strategies that will inform decision-makers
Typologies for neighborhoods and public space prioritize connectivity and civic amenities
The Urban Design Framework sends a clear message of the importance of designing a city for all, where access to opportunity is available to everyone. Through months of research and interviews, a series of strategies were developed and integrated in this Framework to empower women in Afghan society.
Directly originating from research, a proposed citywide network of urban amenities dedicated to women is a key component of this framework, providing basic services, such as clinics and daycares, as well as opportunities for arts, culture, and education
Women in Kabul face a number of structural and implicit biases that inhibit their ability to claim space. A special Women’s Center Tooklit offers strategies to make women feel safer and more welcome from the public to private realm.
The Medical Cluster is part of a citywide strategy to expand access to higher education in Kabul
Relationships between educational institutions and the private sector will spur collaboration and research funding, fomenting new economies in Afghanistan
