President Shavkat Mirziyoyev was presented with the Great Silk Road project to be implemented in New Tashkent.
Work is underway on an area of 6,000 hectares as part of the first stage of construction of New Tashkent.Upon completion of this stage, modern infrastructure will be created for 600,000 residents. With full implementation, New Tashkent is expected to become a modern metropolis with a population of 2 million.
The Great Silk Road complex, covering 32 hectares, is expected to become one of the important public and cultural centers of New Tashkent. It will include residential and commercial buildings, hotels, as well as cultural, educational, and other modern infrastructure facilities.
According to the concept, the complex will feature themed quarters dedicated to various civilizations of the Great Silk Road. Each mahalla will represent a particular country along this historic route.
During the presentation, special attention was paid to the Uzbekistan quarter. It was emphasized that every building, street, and square must reflect the history, culture, and values of our people.
Plans for the renovation of a number of museums were also reviewed, aimed at promoting the country’s rich historical heritage, showcasing the achievements of our ancestors in science, culture, and architecture to the younger generation, and enhancing its international tourism potential.
In particular, plans were presented to establish a museum at the reconstructed Imam Maturidicomplex, featuring thematic halls such as Attention to the Heritage of Imam Maturidi in New Uzbekistan, The Life of Imam Maturidi, as well as sections dedicated to Maturidism. Proposals were also put forward to enrich the content of the Bahauddin Naqshband Scientific and Innovation Museum, with a focus on more broadly showcasing the lives and legacy of great scholars in the Yetti Pir hall.
Additionally, plans were presented for the renovation of the State Museum of Timurid History using modern museological and design solutions. The exhibition halls will be redesigned to provide visitors with a high-quality visual and educational experience. Each hall will be dedicated to a specific historical period and theme.
