️ On March 4, the master plan for "New Tashkent," a new urban center designed to accommodate approximately 2 million residents, was presented in Tashkent. According to Sharaf Rajabov, Deputy Director of the New Tashkent City Construction Directorate under the Cabinet of Ministers, the project spans nearly 20,000 hectares, with a total construction volume potentially reaching 150 million square meters.

️ Rajabov stated that the future city will cover 19,720 hectares. The primary construction focus will be on residential real estate, accounting for about 60.4 million square meters. Commercial facilities will occupy 55.1 million square meters, public and social infrastructure 20.1 million square meters, cultural institutions 8.5 million square meters, and administrative buildings approximately 2.7 million square meters. The estimated population density is around 101 people per hectare.

️ The height of most buildings is planned to be limited to 18 floors, with a site coverage ratio of about 30%. According to the master plan, about 50% of the territory will be dedicated to construction, 30% to green zones and public spaces, and another 5% to transport and engineering infrastructure. The new city is intended to be developed as a Smart City, incorporating digital management systems for urban infrastructure, intelligent transport solutions, and environmental technologies.

️ The development of "New Tashkent" is divided into six stages. The city will be connected to the eastern part of Tashkent, with its northern border near Yangibazar city, eastern border along the Karasu River, and southern border adjacent to the capital's southern boundary. In the first stage, a general plan for an area of about 6,000 hectares has been developed, with a detailed project prepared for a 1,000-hectare plot.

️ The new city will feature residential quarters, business districts, and educational clusters. The project includes plans for universities, parks, artificial canals and lakes, recreational zones along the Chirchik and Karasu rivers, and the construction of seven bridges across these rivers. The parameters of the future city were presented at the "Uzbekistan-Japan: Infrastructure and Smart City Development" business forum in Tashkent, where Japanese experts showcased technological solutions and approaches for developing smart cities applicable to large urban projects.
