Parliament has approved the integration of the area designated for the development of the Shirin township into the city of Samarkand. The ambitious plans for this district include the construction of 254 multi-story residential buildings, 19 business centers, a 6-kilometer-long overground metro line, two large bridges, and numerous other facilities.
The boundaries of Samarkand city, along with Samarkand and Akdarya districts in the Samarkand region, will be redrawn, as 170 hectares of land from Samarkand district and 243 hectares from Akdarya district will be incorporated into the city of Samarkand, according to a resolution adopted by the Legislative Chamber.
As part of these changes to the boundaries of the district and city, the "Shirin" modern business center will be established. This area will feature 254 multi-story residential buildings, 19 business and commercial centers, 50 social sector facilities, 89 entertainment and shopping complexes, and a historical township.
The township will also include 112 kilometers of internal roads, pedestrian and bicycle paths, a 6-kilometer overground metro line, two large bridges, a 7.2-kilometer tunnel for internal communications, 180 kilometers of irrigation pipelines, a 14-kilometer canal, and numerous irrigation structures.
It is worth noting that in July 2023, a presidential decree was issued regarding the construction of the modern Shirin business center and residential complex in Samarkand city. According to the decree, the township is set to be developed over 665 hectares from 2023 to 2030, with state banks providing a loan equivalent to $100 million for the project.
