The hokim of Tashkent has approved the locations where old houses will be demolished and new high-rise buildings will be erected in their place. This process is referred to by the city authorities as renovation. However, there are still no details on how owners will be compensated for the demolished apartments and provided with new ones.
Journalist and blogger Nikita Makarenko was the first to draw attention to these decisions.
The houses will be demolished:
- in the Mirzo-Ulugbek district on an area of 26.71 hectares
- in the Sergeli district – 35.15 hectares
- in the Shaykhontokhur district – 36.82 hectares
- in the Chilanzar district – 5 hectares
- in the Yashnabad district – 54.67 hectares
- in the Yakkasaray district – 13 hectares
“In the Yakkasaray district, this is the mahalla of Tukimachi, houses 37, 39, and 41 on Glinka Street, 4th lane of Bashlyk Street, and houses 24, 26, and 28 on Babur Street. On the allocated land, the objects to be renovated will be identified. Old multi-story residential buildings will be demolished. Investors will replace them with new ones. The process will be handled by “Tashkent Invest” in cooperation with the city authorities,” noted Makarenko.
According to him, what lies ahead are more tears, screams, destroyed homes, and families thrown out onto the street, protests, and clashes with law enforcement.
“That’s how it will be. They don’t know how to do it differently and don’t want to. Just in time for the elections, there will be a show. By the way, the parties “Milliy Tiklanish” and “Adolat” opposed the renovation. Do you have anything to say?” he concluded.
