| This 360o view
of Kabul is taken at Nawabadi Gurzargan in district 7.
This panorama shows the ATN hillside, the ancient city wall and
a view of the districts where USAID/LTERA's tenure formalization
programs are being implemented (districts 3, 5, 6, 7 and 13).
The famous Barbur Gardens (Baghi Barbar) are located to the left
of the plateau (not visible). A child is standing in a fence
made of
artillery shells used by her family to mark the area they have
occupied. Life is harsh on the hillsides. Although some areas have city power, many don't and those who can afford it use small generators. Some families have septic tanks. In some areas, access roads in the hillsides are wide enough to allow small trucks to deliver water to informal settlers who can afford a water tank and the costs of transportation. For many others, this is not an option and water needs to be brought to the house in jerry cans by family members from collection points hundreds of meters below their settlements. Especially in the winter, life is difficult on Kabul's hillsides.
