| description |
Tashkent’s strategic regional
position and its projected growth, combined with the natural
and human-made hazards it faces, will bring both
opportunities and challenges to the city. One of Central
Asia’s most populous and dynamic cities, Tashkent is the
administrative and financial center of Uzbekistan, and its
business continuity is essential for the country. The city
contributes 16.2 percent of national GDP and is the largest
urban market for goods and services in the central Asian
region. Tashkent has strong transport, logistics and retail
sectors coupled with a significant industrial heritage. Its
advantageous location on the transit routes between China
and Europe and with neighboring Kazakhstan, combined with
declining restrictions on cross-border movements of goods
and people, contribute to the increase in economic activity
and the growing inflow of visitors both domestic and
international. Tashkent has the unique opportunity to be the
first city in Central Asia to develop an urban resilience
strategy and investment program. Cities around the world are
developing resilience strategies to enhance their resilience
to local and global shocks and stresses. This report is
intended to reinforce Tashkent’s potential to be the first
city in Central Asia to develop a resilience strategy and
through its implementation become a role-model to other
cities in the region as well as join other cities globally
that are also leading the way in enhancing urban resilience. |
