Extensive capital repair works are starting in the city of Tashkent. This was reported by Upl.uz.
These works will be carried out in accordance with new standards developed by a special company from Great Britain. The main goal of the changes is to create priority conditions for pedestrians and cyclists, as well as to improve the urban environment in a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing way.
Recently, the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, reviewed the presentation of the "Atlas of Decisions" related to the cities of Tashkent and New Tashkent. This document sets general requirements for the external appearance of urban objects and the public environment.
According to Tashkent Mayor Shavkat Umurzakov, the capital repair of the city's road network will be carried out based on new landscaping standards and a unified design code. The repair of 200 kilometers of roads, carried out by China's China Construction company, will cover the entire area.
Each element must comply with the approved design code. For this purpose, the Atlas company, which developed the design code for Moscow, has been involved.
Based on the new design code, streets, building facades, pedestrian paths, and green spaces will be organized. Mayor Umurzakov noted that the lack of existing standards previously led to a lack of compliance in the activities of construction organizations.
With the introduction of a unified system, all works will be regulated, and the appearance of the city will change dramatically. Existing shortcomings will be gradually eliminated.
Davronjon Odilov, director of the "New Tashkent" city construction directorate and deputy minister of construction and communal services, emphasized that the new landscaping standards will be applied equally in Tashkent and New Tashkent. The standards are based on AASHTO international norms widely used in the USA and Europe, adapted to local climate conditions.
The main priority is given to pedestrians and cyclists. The project pays special attention to the width, length, and shading requirements of pedestrian paths.
Each detail has been thoroughly analyzed and taken into account. The President has instructed to implement these standards in the streets of Tashkent and in the New Tashkent projects, as well as to ensure a reduction in future operating costs.
