(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, December 28. Uzbekistan's
President Shavkat Mirziyoyev reviewed the progress of transport
infrastructure and engineering communications in New Tashkent (a
city under construction designed to accommodate 1 million
residents), Trend reports.
According to the Uzbek president's office, the development
focuses on building sustainable infrastructure for long-term use,
with extensive underground engineering work underway to lay the
foundation for major future projects.
The city aims to harmonize infrastructure, daily life, and
environmental considerations. Plans include an eco-friendly
transport system integrating metro and electric buses, with 14
tunnels and underground parking facilities for 100,000 vehicles.
Provisions are being made for safe, barrier-free movement for
pedestrians and cyclists.
At one major intersection, foundation pouring for columns and
waterproofing are already in progress. Construction has also
started on one- and two-section underground utility corridors for
centralized heating, water, electricity, and telecommunications
networks.
New Tashkent will employ smart technologies aligned with modern
urbanization demands. A trigeneration station-the first of its kind
in Uzbekistan-will be built, and wastewater will be treated using
advanced technologies, with the reclaimed water repurposed for
irrigation and technical needs.
The president was also briefed on projects planned for the first
phase of New Tashkent's development. Local and international
investors presented initiatives for mixed-use complexes, hotels,
and restaurants. Eleven multifunctional projects, valued at $490
million, have already commenced. These developments will include
residential, commercial, and social facilities, making the district
lively and appealing. Hotels and restaurants with unique
architectural designs are expected to deliver high-class services
and attract tourism.
In 2024, land plots for subsequent phases will be auctioned,
offering new investment opportunities and projects. This phased
approach will support the city's growth, generate new jobs, and
stimulate local businesses.
Overall, New Tashkent is expected to create approximately
200,000 high-paying jobs through innovation and technology. Plans
include technoparks, IT hubs, and education and medical clusters,
positioning the city as a modern and sustainable urban center.
