Original Abstract
High levels of unemployment, a failing electricity supply network, assorted public health problems and waste management are having a profound effect on the quality of urban life in Afghanistan. Returning refugees further increase the pressure on urban infrastructure and resources. Despite low levels of consumption and production, weak management of solid waste is already of the country's most glaring environmental problems. If rapid population growth, refugee returns and urbanisation continue as predicted, the stress on an already inadequate system will worsen.
