Developing the Samarkand Region Urbanization, Infrastructure, and Modernization

Samarkand, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and historic Silk Road city, faces growing urban challenges due to tourism and population growth. A new study proposes a comprehensive development model inspired by Sejong City, focusing on advanced planning, sustainability, and smart technologies. Key findings emphasize the need for improved public transport, road maintenance, water supply, affordable housing, and strategic urban expansion while preserving historical landmarks like the Registan and Gur-e-Amir. This integrated approach aims to enhance Samarkand’s urban functionality and appeal, balancing modern needs with historical preservation.
