A Visionary Study on Urban Neighbourhood Models in Kabul City Based on Actual Surveys

Abstract

This paper explores a new neighbourhood model with the primary school district. This scale is well known as Perry’s neighbourhood unit theory all over the world. So, this paper deals with (1) the spread and familiarity of Perry’s theory especially in Islamic planning context; (2) spatial analysis of current urban neighbourhoods in Kabul City through a survey in district nine; (3) measurement of densities on population, dwelling unit, household, and pupils in the case study area, and (4) visionary proposals on urban neighbourhood models based on several scenarios in the near future and its implications.
