| Summary: | Urban landscape plays a significant role in the quality of life and sustainability issues
of urban development. As more new cities and metropolitan areas are created and more
money spent on urban landscapes, it is becoming more urgent to discover an urban
landscape management scheme that addresses these issues. At the same time landscape
management plays a key role in improving the quality of urban landscape. High quality
urban landscape management requires a proper management system. In rapidly
urbanizing cities, such as Kabul in Afghanistan, the importance of urban landscape and
green space is acknowledged. However, due to the rapid urbanization and population
growth, managing the city’s landscape is a major challenge. Developing countries like
Afghanistan are facing a decline in green spaces due to lack of proper management.
The objective of this study is to propose a sustainable urban landscape management
framework for Kabul in Afghanistan.
Three countries were selected as case studies – Malaysia, Singapore, and England.
Their urban landscape management systems were studied. Relevant professionals and
experts in Kabul were interviewed to elicit their views regarding urban landscape
management in the city, and their comments on the proposed management framework
are discussed. The findings of the research confirm that the framework has
considerable potential for improving the urban landscape management in Kabul
Afghanistan. It is hoped that the findings of this study will increase the local
authority’s knowledge in managing the urban landscape and thereby, decreasing the
deterioration and decline of urban green spaces in Kabul’s urban landscape. |
