The reforms being implemented in this area go beyond simply increasing construction volumes \u2014 they are being carried out through a comprehensive approach closely linked to accelerating demographic growth and urbanization.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Demographic Factor and Growing Housing Demand<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The high rates of demographic growth observed in the country require a fundamental review of housing policy. In recent years, the country\u2019s population has been growing by nearly 800,000 people per year, and the number of new families by 250,000 \u2014 figures that demand a sharp acceleration of efforts to meet housing needs. To address this demand, the construction of 110,000 apartments for 2025 alone. By 2040, the goal is to double the number of housing units built annually to 421,000 and increase the mortgage loan portfolio to $56.7 billion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Urbanization and the Shift to Integrated Construction (Vertical Growth)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Due to rapid population growth and limited land resources, the approach to urban expansion is changing. The approximately 40% of the country\u2019s multi-apartment housing stock, currently made up of 2\u20133-story buildings, is being replaced by modern housing built on the principle of vertical growth, incorporating social infrastructure and green spaces.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Strict urbanization criteria have been established for the development of \u201cNew Uzbekistan\u201d residential districts. In particular, new sites are selected based on the following criteria:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>The district must be located near the district (or city) center (within 2 km) and have existing infrastructure.<\/li>\n<li>At least 70,000 residents must live in the area.<\/li>\n<li>Construction of buildings covering at least 100,000 square meters and no fewer than 7 stories.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Institutional Reforms and Digitalization<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To effectively manage urbanization and the housing market, the National Committee for the Sustainable Development of Urbanization and the Housing Market has been established. This committee coordinates urbanization processes, renovation programs, and the construction of \u201cNew Uzbekistan\u201d districts. To prevent uncontrolled urban sprawl, plans are underway to designate 45 agglomeration zones across the country and launch the \u201cSustainable City\u201d platform. Additionally, a unified digital urbanization platform called \u201cUy-joy\u201d is being created to consolidate all urban planning processes, a land bank, and project data.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Environmental Sustainability and \u201cGreen\u201d Standards<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Environmental sustainability is a priority in the modern urbanization process. According to state programs, in \u201cNew Uzbekistan\u201d districts, at least 2% of the cost of constructing multi-apartment housing must be allocated to creating green spaces around residential buildings. For large investment projects in Tashkent, it is mandatory that green spaces occupy at least 30% of the area. Housing and construction projects are evaluated and certified according to special \u201cgreen\u201d standards.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Social Protection and Financing (Mortgage Subsidies)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The acceleration of urbanization must not leave socially vulnerable segments of the population behind in the housing market. To this end, the mortgage subsidy system has been fully automated through the \u201csubsidiya.idm.uz\u201d platform. The system of providing state budget subsidies to cover down payments and interest has been expanded for low-income families, young people under 30, single women in difficult social circumstances, and official labor migrants.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In general, the reforms aimed at improving housing conditions in Uzbekistan are not simply about constructing new buildings \u2014 they represent a broad state policy directed at creating a modern urbanization environment that can withstand strong demographic growth, is ecologically clean, have infrastructure, and is comfortable for the population.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leider ist der Eintrag nur auf \u0420\u0443\u0441\u0441\u043a\u0438\u0439 verf\u00fcgbar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6237,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6236","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-5"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gk-usbekistan.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6236","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gk-usbekistan.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gk-usbekistan.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gk-usbekistan.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gk-usbekistan.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6236"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gk-usbekistan.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6236\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6238,"href":"https:\/\/gk-usbekistan.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6236\/revisions\/6238"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gk-usbekistan.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6237"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gk-usbekistan.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6236"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gk-usbekistan.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6236"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gk-usbekistan.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6236"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
