Current Issues of Transport Infrastructure in Samarkand

Abstract

The article analyzes in detail the unresolved urban planning problems of the new general plan of Samarkand. A master plan for the city of Samarkand until 2030 is currently being developed. The concept of the general plan takes into account the integrated use of three options for the territorial development of the city: option “A”, development of the city to the south; option “B” - development in a western direction towards Charkhin and adjacent agricultural lands. In the northwestern and southern parts of the city, the nature of the designed housing stock will change significantly. In the northwestern and southern parts of the city, the nature of the designed housing stock will change significantly. The proposed number of floors for the new city are multi-storey (16-25 floors) and elevated (30 floors) residential buildings (proposals from a Turkish company). The territory adjacent to the southern subcenter on the eastern side - up to 30 storey residential buildings (let's call it "Samarkand City"), taking into account engineering, climatic, hydrological, and seismological conditions.

The practice of reconstructing the central streets of Mirzo Ulugbek, Registanskaya, Penjikentskaya in Samarkand shows that the concept of reconstruction is associated mainly with the expansion of the roadway of the streets and an increase in their capacity as a result of modernization.

Specific measures are proposed to improve the general plan and ways to solve the city's transport problems.
