Resilient and Inclusive Cities in Uzbekistan

 

From December 2 to 6, 2024 we had the privilege of joining the Territorial Development Forum, organized by the World Bank Group, in Uzbekistan, collaborating with local leaders, international experts, and engaged citizens to shape the future of urban development. Through hands-on workshops and insightful discussions, we explored strategies to create green and climate-resilient cities, enhance masterplanning, and strengthen citizen participation. From addressing climate risks to integrating participatory budgeting practices, our mission focused on delivering innovative, practical solutions tailored to the unique needs of Uzbek cities.

The outcomes were a collective vision for more sustainable, inclusive, and vibrant urban spaces, driven by collaboration and a shared commitmment to addressing climate and development challenges.

A heartfelt thank you to the Government of Uzbekistan, the World Bank, and all the participants who brought their expertise, creativity, and local knowledge to the table.
