The following are politically, geographically or economically important places, many of which are cities, of Afghanistan. The populations given are those “calculated” for 2004 [taken from this website (http://www.afghan-web.com), which also shows population change since c1979.
A city is an urban area that is differentiated from a town, village, or hamlet by size, population density, importance, or legal status.
In most parts of the world, cities are generally substantial and nearly always have an urban core, but in the United States many incorporated areas which have a very modest population, or a suburban or even mostly rural character, are designated as cities.
City can also be a synonym for "downtown" or a "city centre".
The Afghanistan nation-state as it is known today came into existence in 1746 under the Durrani Empire, but control was ceded to the United Kingdom until King Amanullah acceded to throne in 1919.
Afghanistan is a mountainous country, although there are plains in the north and southwest.
Afghanistan is an extremely poor country, highly dependent on farming and livestock raising.
