Tashkent to renovate 400 neighborhoods by 2030

Tashkent plans to comprehensively renovate 400 neighborhoods by 2030 under the “15-minute neighborhood” principle, according to a presentation attended by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev. The plan envisages 100 neighborhoods renovated in 2027 and 400 by 2030. Work will cover heating, drinking water, sewage, electricity, gas and lighting systems, apartment building facades, roads, children’s and sports grounds. The number of trees and shrubs per resident will be aligned with international standards.

The project aims to create 130,000 new jobs in the 400 neighborhoods by 2030, including 22,000 in the 100 neighborhoods due for renovation in 2027. Banks will set up a “conveyor” system for developing and launching projects. The presentation also covered the Vatandosh, Mohinur, Al-Buxoriy and Tong neighborhoods in Yashnobod district, spanning 75 hectares and home to 18,386 residents. Planned facilities include a three-kilometre walking path, a multi-sport facility, four kindergartens with 540 places in total, and three polyclinics.

Officials also reported a shortage of 141,000 school seats in Tashkent in the 2025–2026 academic year. This could reach 212,000 by 2030–2031 as the number of students rises by 71,000 over the next five years. To address this, 126,000 additional seats are planned by 2030, with 48,000 funded by the republic budget and 78,000 by local budgets.
