Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) — A recreational area featuring a 1.87-hectare artificial lake, two fountains, and pedestrian and cycling paths is under construction in Tashkent’s Chilanzar district. The project is being implemented in the Beshyogoch mahalla, the Tashkent city administration reported.
The total area allocated for the project is 23,000 square metres, of which 18,700 square metres will be occupied by the lake. It will have a capacity of approximately 37,400 cubic metres of water.
The surrounding area will be landscaped and greened, including the planting of 150 trees and shrubs.
A total of 4,600 metres of pedestrian and cycling paths are planned around the lake.
One of the project’s features will be a 30-metre-high arched structure with a rotating element. Preliminary proposals from Italian specialists were studied and refined to develop its architectural concept.
The project design organisation Lider Prof Proekt adapted the proposed solutions to the site’s characteristics and the project requirements. The possibility of involving Chinese and other foreign partners to develop complex structural and mechanical solutions is also being considered.
At the preliminary design stage, the project team is examining the possibility of installing two lifts inside the arch.
According to the Tashkent city administration, the recreational area will be able to accommodate up to 3,000 visitors a day. The project cost and construction completion date have not yet been disclosed.
