As of March 2026, Uzbekistan’s capital Tashkent has approximately 2 square meters of green space per each resident, well below the normal of 17–19 square meters. The capital’s green and recreational spaces span 893 hectares. To address this issue, authorities plan to create nine new public spaces with a total area of 140 hectares, Tashkent Today reports.
The legislative requirement for green spaces in large development projects has been increased from 25% to 30% of the total area.
High-rise developments will be concentrated in limited areas to free up space for parks and alleys.
Parks will be financed through developer fees.
According to Sherzod Kudbiyev, Chairman of the National Urbanization Committee, priority will be given to free public spaces without commercial establishments and amusement facilities.
