Shahr-e Naw (Pashto: شهر نو; Dari: شهرنو), also spelled Share Naw, Shahre Naow or Shari Naw, is an affluent neighborhood in the northwestern section of Kabul, Afghanistan.[1] It is a downtown commercial area housing most of the bigger buildings such as office centers, shopping centers, education centers, embassies, supermarkets, hotels, banks, hospitals, mosques, and apartments.[2] To its west lies Karte Sakhi, and to its east is the affluent Wazir Akbar Khan neighborhood.[3] Its name in a general sense means New Town, which is taken as it was first built in the early 20th century as a 'new' urban extension north of the historic city of Kabul.[4]
