Several Kabul residents have criticized what they describe as a lack of attention to urban culture and cleanliness in the city.

They say that maintaining the city's cleanliness is not solely the responsibility of the municipality, but a duty shared by all citizens.

With Kabul's growing population, some individuals show negligence in keeping the city clean and adhering to urban principles.

 “Sometimes you see people eating or drinking in their cars and throwing their trash onto the road. Others leave their garbage on streets and in parks,” said Osman, a resident of Kabul.

 “We must keep our city clean, pay attention to it, and cooperate with government employees who work to maintain its cleanliness,” said Sayed Mahdi, another resident of Kabul.

Kabul Municipality states that it has several programs in place to promote urban culture. The institution has called on citizens to cooperate in keeping the city clean.

 “Thankfully, Kabul Municipality has various programs to promote urban culture. Certain improper behaviors, such as throwing trash on roads and sidewalks, are urban violations. We ask citizens to cooperate with the municipality because the order and cleanliness of the city result from the responsibility of all its citizens,” said Nematullah Barakzai, a representative of Kabul Municipality.

Urban culture encompasses a set of rules and principles that contribute to the order and beauty of a city.
