Harnessing Uzbekistan's Potential of Urbanization

The National Urban Assessment for Uzbekistan examines the progress of urbanization and the current state of government policies and programs in the country. It recommends a shift toward sustainable urbanization and reforms in urban planning. In terms of sustainable urbanization, particular focus is given on economy, equity, environmental quality, and climate change as well as enhancing the quality and reliability of urban services and increasing the supply of affordable housing, among others. The report is also a useful guide for strategic investment planning across key urban infrastructure sectors in Uzbekistan.
