Construction of New Tashkent under the concept of a “green” city began three years ago. It is the largest urban development project in the country’s history. The first stage provides for the implementation of projects worth $50 billion. It is planned to create 2,000 hectares of green zones and 500 hectares of parks. 150 million square meters of residential and non-residential facilities will be built. Over three years, work worth $2 billion has been completed. Housing, universities, a library and an amphitheater have been built.

The trigeneration station, built with the participation of Turkey’s MIMSAN with $73 million in investments, will make it possible to provide centralized heating and cooling to 100,000 households while simultaneously generating electricity. The cost of the project to build the substation and high-voltage power transmission lines, implemented jointly with the Chinese company Haocheng Industry Group, is $95 million.

In addition, 18 km of roads have been built, 13 km of sewer networks and 4.5 km of drinking water supply networks have been laid.

About 7,000 apartments have been built in the first phase of construction of the Shark bahori residential complex.

With the participation of partners from China, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and other countries, construction has begun on another 10 major projects with a total value of $2.5 billion.
