“Over the past five years, and even longer, we have been actively collaborating with international partners. Not only we, but especially young architects, young urban planning specialists, and companies are working closely with international partners.

In such circumstances, having a common professional language is extremely important. That is why we consider this dictionary to be a very useful and practical tool for architects, urban planners, and anyone interested in this field. This resource will help standardize terminology, improve understanding of concepts, and familiarize users with key ideas related to current trends.

He added that this dictionary is also very useful for students and the academic community.

Meanwhile, the publication was evaluated based on opinions and expert assessments by scholars from the Urban Planning Committee and the Architecture Committee of Azerbaijan University of Architecture and Construction, as well as the Nasimi Institute of Linguistics at the National Academy of Sciences of Azerbaijan.

At the presentation ceremony, speakers also shared their views on the new dictionary. At the conclusion of the event, participants were presented with a copy of the new dictionary.
