Residential Section of the Old City of Kabul.

2005
By the 21st century ornamental decoration on the exteriors of courtyards had fallen out of fashion. Families were moving out of the area leaving houses to deteriorate. In addition, there had been much talk since 1962 of proposed 25-year Master plans for the old city, calling for the demolition of the whole area. Photo by HABITAT architect Jolyon Leslie.
