"Tashkent is our great capital, the biggest city of our country. In five years, we created conditions for investment and entrepreneurs, new houses and modern facilities were built. This is also necessary. If we don't think about the future and clearly define the strategy, it will be difficult to live in the city in ten years. The infrastructure will not bear the additional pressure. We have no right to make mistakes now. If we don't make the project 50 years beforehand, taking into account the amenities that should be created for the people, the city will not have architecture, economy, or ecology," said the president.
Today, the territory of the city of Tashkent is 43,000 hectares, the population is close to 3mn. The load on infrastructure networks has increased. The number of vehicles is increasing day by day, and traffic is becoming more difficult. Dust and smoke have a negative impact on the environment.

To solve the problem of traffic congestion, public transport will be facilitated. For this, it is necessary to have a stop within a 15-minute walk from the resident's house. Also, based on the principle of Park and ride, parking lots will be established on the outskirts of the city and connected to public transport stations.
Another important measure is setting social requirements for buildings. For example, if a multi-storey building is to be built in the city, depending on its type, standards such as school, kindergarten, household services, parking space, and greening area will be compulsory.

The project of the master plan of the city of Tashkent until 2045 was prepared in accordance with the concept of "New Tashkent". This new city will be built in the eastern part of the capital, between Chirchik and Karasuv rivers. It will be intended for 500,000 inhabitants.
Based on this, promising development and construction areas, schemes of main roads connecting the capital with the new city were developed. It is planned to build on 6,000 hectares in the first stage.
The project of master plan envisages the creation of a "green belt" around the big ring road, and the creation of thematic parks along the canals that pass through the city. In general, it is aimed to increase green areas in the capital to 25,000 hectares.
"Our strategy for the development of the city was also approved by the world's leading experts. Now it is necessary to take the people's opinion on each place and build it intelligently and with quality. This new city should be worthy of our people, suitable for our climate, and modern," says Shavkat Mirziyoyev.
