President of Azerbaijan was informed about the New Tashkent project
The President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev and the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev visited the Directorate for the Construction of New Tashkent.
The President of Azerbaijan was briefed on the New Tashkent master plan, construction progress, the city’s transportation and engineering infrastructure, and plans for its future development.
New Tashkent is being built on 20,000 hectares and is designed to accommodate 2 million people in the future. By 2034, 200,000 apartments are planned to be constructed.
As part of the first phase of the project, covering 6,000 hectares, modern residential complexes, social and business facilities, and educational and cultural institutions are under construction. In particular, campuses are being built for New Uzbekistan University, the National Pedagogical University named after Nizami Ganjavi, and other higher education institutions.
The city’s development prioritizes modern urbanism, green city principles, and energy efficiency. Plans include placing utility networks, adopting energy-efficient technologies, and creating extensive green areas and public spaces.
Transportation infrastructure will be a key component of the new city. New bridges, a metro line, and pedestrian and bicycle paths will provide convenient connections between New Tashkent and the existing part of the capital.
In addition, the city will feature government institutions, scientific and cultural centers, hotels, and service and business complexes. Domestic and foreign investors are actively involved in implementing the project.
President Ilham Aliyev was also presented with a model of New Tashkent and briefed on the major planned facilities for the city.
