This project presents a “Development Vision for the Project Area and Integrated Urban Design Concepts” for the World Bank Consultancy for “Urban Design Concepts for three pilot cities under the Uzbekistan Medium-Size Cities Integrated Urban Development Project” (MSCIUDP). The city of Chartak has much potential, for example for touristic development but, on the other hand, must also deal with challenges such as the use and coordination of the two local markets. On the basis of the initial research phase, data acquired from local partners, and impressions gathered during the first site visits, several issues have emerged as the main topics to be dealt with in the urban design process.
