Terminals in 4 Gates of Kabul City (Arghandi Terminal)

CRIDA in brief:

The capital region independent development authority comprises the Kabul city including its all districts, Maidan Shahr City of Maidan Wardak Province, Charikar City and the districts of Bagram and Jabal Siraj of Parwan province, Mahmud Raqi City and Kohistanat district of Kapisa Province, Puli-Alam City and Mohammad Agha & Khushi districts of Logar Province. The total area of the capital region surrounds more than 7735 km2.
The implementation of development projects and finding solutions for the existing problems in the areas under the Capital Region are bonded with hopes of millions of Afghan in the country. During the years 2002-2006, there were different visions for overcoming the major existing problems in the capital such as a rapid increase in population, lack of housing units and primary infrastructures and an increase in unemployment. Subsequent to carry comprehensive feasibility studies and researches as per the Presidential Decree of GIRoA an Independent Board for Development of Kabul New City was formed at the beginning of 2006.
In late 2006, the Board established the Dehsabz City Development Authority (DCDA) as its financial and implementing executive body. The DCDA was tasked to pave the way, through mostly private sector-led activities, for the planning, design, and implementation, of this mega national project. DCDA then laid down for the first time in the history of the country a strong foundation, mechanism and scientific documentation for the Kabul New City and in the urban sector development in general which would be used as a platform for urban development in the country. With Formation of Capital Region Independent Development Authority (CRIDA), not only the KNC Master Plans would be implemented, but also pave the ways for the development of Capital Region with broader visions which are briefly narrated as follows:

1. Transforming the Capital Region by turning it into a megacity that is clean, full of greenery, cultured with booming industries and commerce, sports and tourism and ultimately a city with all facilities that are available in any modern city of the world.
2. Building a metropolitan city that is self-reliant and sustainable, a city that has infrastructure and facilities of high standards with a healthy physical environment.
3. Building a city that is free of ethnic, linguistic, racial and religious prejudices.
4. Promoting urban culture and enhancing the standard of city life through the development of the Capital Region.
5. Development of cities (through decentralization for balanced development) within the Capital Region by protecting the originality, historical value and organic linkages with the existing Kabul city to transform the entire capital zone into a symbol of national unity.

this illustrates the scope of work for the project (Arghandi Terminal Boundary Wall). The scope of work includes grading and land preparation of the wall, construction of the Stonemasonry boundary wall (Total length of wall 7.2653km with a wall foundation, gates, and other required work). CRIDA is implementing organization of this project and will supervise and manage this project by its technical team where project progress reporting, communication with stakeholders, follow up of schedule, quality assurance and workmanship, health and safety of the project is also one of the main responsibility of CRIDA from initiation to close of the project.
