Kabul is the capital city of
Afghanistan. Located in the eastern half of the country, it is also a municipality, forming part of the
Kabul Province. The city is divided for administration into
22 municipal districts. In 2023 its population was estimated to be 4.95 million people. In contemporary times, Kabul has served as Afghanistan's political, cultural and economical center. Rapid urbanisation has made it the country's
primate city and the
75th-largest city in the world.
The modern-day city of Kabul is located high in a narrow
valley in the
Hindu Kush mountain range, and is bounded by the
Kabul River. At an elevation of 1,790 metres (5,873 ft), it is one of the
highest capital cities in the world. The center of the city contains its old neighborhoods, including the areas of Khashti Bridge, Khabgah, Kahforoshi, Deh-Afghanan, Chandavel, Shorbazar, Saraji, Zana-Khan and Baghe Alimardan. (Full article...)
