President of Uzbekistan has reviewed the newly developed Atlas of Solutions — a design and planning guide for the development of both Tashkent and New Tashkent. The document is intended to support the city’s transition into a unified, modern and sustainable metropolis.
Reflecting the country’s economic progress, both cities are undergoing rapid construction and urban transformation. A general master plan for Tashkent until 2045 was adopted to ensure balanced development. It outlines parameters for urban planning, infrastructure and protected zones.
A Visual Framework for Urban Harmony
The Atlas builds upon the master plan and introduces a unified set of design principles for urban objects and public spaces. Divided into five volumes, it serves as a reference for the design, installation and operation of urban infrastructure. Each section offers guidance on improving public spaces, standardising building façades and promoting cohesive architecture across the capital.
One notable shift is the proposed transition from Uzbekistan’s current road development practices — which focus on the red line of the carriageway — to a more comprehensive building-to-building approach, inspired by urban standards in developed countries. This aims to prevent neglected roadside areas and ensure harmonious landscaping throughout entire streets.
A Vision Rooted in Identity and Sustainability
The Atlas integrates sustainable development goals and national aesthetics into the planning of the urban environment. It encourages the creation of green, well-designed spaces that enhance both environmental quality and everyday life for residents. Importantly, it helps avoid common errors in the design of new public areas by offering consistent and context-aware solutions.
During the presentation, key implementation tasks were discussed. President Mirziyoyev instructed officials to enhance the city’s appearance while preserving its cultural identity, improve roadside areas and elevate the overall urban living experience. The Atlas is expected to become a cornerstone of Uzbekistan’s forward-looking urban policy.
Kursiv also reports that President Shavkat Mirziyoyev signed a new law On Limiting Greenhouse Gas Emissions.
