Saida Mirziyoyeva held a meeting with the initiators of major architectural projects planned for Tashkent. The head of the Presidential Administration announced this on her Telegram channel.
The meeting was also attended by representatives of leading specialized studios and universities, independent experts and urban planners. The participants discussed the city’s growth and future prospects, taking into account existing urban planning and environmental challenges.
According to Mirziyoyeva, specialists face “many challenges”, including pressure on engineering infrastructure and social facilities, as well as energy and water supply. New construction projects “should develop the city rather than create additional imbalances and overload its systems”, the head of the Presidential Administration stressed.
“We will help businesses that want to make Tashkent better, more beautiful, cleaner and safer for all its residents and guests”, Mirziyoyeva added.
She stressed that this approach “is in line with the policy of New Uzbekistan”. Providing comprehensive support and assistance to responsible businesses is a direct task of the president, the statement concluded.
At the end of July, Saida Mirziyoyeva visited the Lolazor mahalla in the Mirabad district, where a business center was planned to be built on the site of a children’s playground. The head of the Presidential Administration called residents' concerns over uncontrolled construction in courtyards “justified” and urged that urban spaces be used for their intended purposes.
Aziz Azimov, First Deputy Head of the Department for Public Security and the Rule of Law under the Presidential Administration, said that the site in Lolazor mahalla had been transferred to a private investor who “promised to invest but brought it to this state.” A fence was installed there in 2023, after which the mahalla committee building, children’s playground and fountain were demolished.
“They have already got the hang of it. First, they look at a site, then turn it into an abandoned place. Then they gradually fence it off, cut down and destroy the trees, pour concrete. And there you have it — an excellent plot of land”, Mirziyoyeva said.
The head of the Presidential Administration instructed the Prosecutor General’s Office to conduct an inventory of construction projects in the courtyards of residential buildings in the capital and check the legality of the permits issued for construction. If violations are identified, “those responsible should be punished, up to imprisonment”, she stressed.
