Uzbekistan Approves Updated Tashkent Master Plan Through 2045 with $16.2 Billion in Investment Projects

Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) — The Government of Uzbekistan has revised the capital’s master plan, originally approved in December 2024, setting new development targets for Tashkent through 2045.

The decree, dated 28 February, covers large-scale investment projects for the construction of residential complexes, hotels, business centers, social facilities, and industrial zones, alongside upgrades to urban infrastructure and landscaping.

According to the document, domestic and foreign investors have developed concepts for 31 projects, totaling over US$16.2 billion, on land spanning 2,311.4 hectares.

Annual implementation of these projects is expected to increase the city’s gross regional product by US$1.5 billion, generate budget revenues of 3.5 trillion soums, and create approximately 260,000 new jobs.

Most projects involve the construction of multi-storey residential complexes with buildings up to 16 floors, alongside commercial, social, and utility infrastructure. Construction is planned in the Bektimir, Mirabad, Sergeli, Chilanzar, Yashnabad, Mirzo-Ulugbek, Shaykhantahur, Yunusabad, Uchtepa, and Yangihayot districts. In the city center, several five-star hotels are planned, including the Tonino Lamborghini Residences project, which will feature premium apartments, a hotel, and a business center.

The plan also includes modern business centers, retail and service complexes, a student dormitory, a clinic, and a wellness center, as well as the “Yangi Avlod” industrial zone in Yangihayot district with production and service facilities.

Green spaces are a priority: at least 30% of each project’s area is to be dedicated to parks and landscaped areas. Comprehensive development includes updating neighborhoods with outdated buildings and avoiding high-density construction on plots smaller than one hectare. In nine priority areas, Tashkent Invest will create 139.6 hectares of new green zones, which will be preserved after project completion.

For each project, master plans will be developed within two months, considering architectural, engineering, and socio-economic parameters. These plans will be reviewed and approved by the Territorial Architectural and Urban Planning Council under the Main Directorate of Construction of Tashkent and the city administration. Investors are required to make infrastructure payments to partially cover the costs of engineering networks and transport infrastructure, with adjustment coefficients ranging from 1.1 to 3.0 depending on building density, green space ratio, and social infrastructure load.

The decree allows the use of international technical standards in design and construction, with mandatory adaptation to national urban planning regulations. All projects are required to utilize alternative fuels to natural gas and energy-efficient technologies.

Overall, the amendments establish a foundation for Tashkent’s comprehensive development as a modern metropolis with sustainable infrastructure, extensive green areas, and expanded residential, commercial, and industrial facilities, enhancing the city’s investment appeal and quality of life for its residents.
