UN-Habitat Reports Significant Urban Expansion in Khost Over Nearly Two Decades
The United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) has announced that over the past 19 years, the city of Khost has transformed from a small town into a sprawling city with an extended skyline.
According to the agency, this development process began in 2005 and has dramatically changed the urban landscape of Khost, reflecting population growth and the expansion of residential and service areas in this province.
UN-Habitat emphasizes that urban development, when accompanied by smart urban planning and targeted investment, can lead to healthier homes and improved quality of life for all residents.
The international organization highlights Khost’s experience as a case study underscoring the necessity of building cities that are efficient for all citizens and provide equitable access to urban services.
