The draft resolution includes functional zoning of the territory, parameters for future construction, as well as requirements for environmental protection and preservation of cultural heritage. This document will be mandatory for government agencies and will serve as the basis for all future investment and infrastructure initiatives in the capital.
In particular, the general plan outlines measures for modernizing the transportation system, including the construction of bypass roads, the renovation of Manas Airport, and the creation of rapid public transport lines, such as a city railway, tram, and metrobus. The ecological part of the plan includes the establishment of a natural-ecological framework and the improvement of water bodies.
In preparing this document, the Bishkek city administration held extensive public hearings, with 471 participants. During the discussions, 564 ideas and comments were proposed by citizens. Some of the suggestions were taken into account, while others were rejected for urban planning reasons.
The draft resolution has been published on the Unified Portal for public discussion and will be revised based on the feedback received.
