It is noted that the area selected for the implementation of this project is 500 meters above sea level and is unique due to its proximity to the city, its climate, weather and location between two rivers.

Current Tashkent covers an area of 43,000 hectares. Within the framework of the new Tashkent project, an additional 20,000 hectares will provide comfortable living conditions for 1 million people and will be provided with appropriate infrastructure.

In the first phase, apartment buildings for 60,000 residents, 30 schools, 20 kindergartens, a multidisciplinary hospital and 5 family polyclinics will be built. The new University of Uzbekistan, new buildings of the National Library, theater, art schools, trade and service centers will also be located here.

It is reported that government offices will gradually move to New Tashkent. Hotels, service and trade facilities will be opened in place of their current buildings, and Tashkent will become a modern tourism and business center.
