As the President noted, this will become the basis and example of the idea of building an enlightened society.
One of such objects is a complex that includes the Alisher Navoi International Research Center, the Literature Museum and the National Maqom Center. It was designed by the world-famous bureau “Zaha Hadid Architects”. The future complex deserves attention for its unique design and functionality. It skillfully combines aesthetics and comfort, the structure fits harmoniously into the environment. It is expected that due to these features, the complex will become one of the centers of attraction for international tourism.
Another growth point of New Tashkent is the Chirchik River.

For this purpose, the coast will be landscaped and greened. Hotels, health and entertainment establishments will be built there.

More than 21 thousand young people study at Bukhara State University, there are 10 faculties and 8 dormitories. However, the buildings are located in different districts of the city, which creates inconvenience for teachers and students.

The city of Khiva is one of the main tourist destinations of our country. As a result of the constructive work of recent years, its potential has increased even more. In order to create amenities for visitors, it is planned to build an overpass next to the railway station. According to the project, this 450-meter road will allow for separate traffic, and pedestrians will be able to safely move between the station and Ichan-Kala.
