Plans for infrastructure development in Tashkent were discussed
This zone, created on an area of 774 hectares, is being actively developed: 28 projects are being implemented on 268 hectares with a total cost of $800 million. Another 30 projects, for which investors have already been identified, will be located on an area of 300 hectares. The total investment volume will be $400 million.
The importance of expanding the industrial zone, placing new production facilities, creating jobs and establishing the production of products with high added value is emphasized.
For example, the construction of a multimodal logistics terminal worth $288 million is planned on the territory of the industrial zone.
The project will be implemented in collaboration with the Dubai company DP World. After the terminal is put into operation, the logistics potential of the capital and the Tashkent region will expand significantly, which will speed up export-import operations.
The upcoming work on the development of the road and transport infrastructure of Tashkent was also discussed at the meeting. In particular, taking into account the experience of reconstruction of Shota Rustaveli Street, projects on the BRT (Bus rapid transit) system will begin on ten more streets of the city.
Measures to ensure road safety, regulate traffic flows and improve the architectural appearance of the capital based on a single design code were also considered.
It was reported that next year 1 trillion soums will be allocated from the local budget for the improvement of mahallas, the construction of gastronomic streets and the renewal of irrigation systems.
The President emphasized that the transformations taking place in Tashkent should be aimed at creating a comfortable and modern urban environment, promoting the growth of economic activity and the development of entrepreneurship.
During the presentation, information about large projects in other regions of the country was also presented. In particular, plans were considered to further expand the capabilities of the city of Bukhara in the field of receiving and serving tourists.
