Uzbekistan Plans New Karshi City for 500,000 Residents

On 23 October, Uzbekistan’s president reviewed plans for New Karshi, a proposed urban development on approximately 5,200 hectares designed initially for a population of 500,000. The master plan includes residential areas, commercial centres, public institutions, hotels and transport connections, while a separate tourism complex along the Karshi Main Canal is planned across 235 hectares; a full construction budget was not disclosed. Developers, architects and engineering consultants can explore opportunities in urban planning, smart-city systems and infrastructure coordination. HPC can support property-data systems, project reporting and financial modelling; the project’s population and land area are planning specifications, not monetary contract values.
