The Guzarboshi neighborhood in the Olmazor district of Tashkent city is one of the areas that attracts attention due to its rich history, resident population, and extensive construction works. This neighborhood is located in the old part of the capital and is developing in a modern way while preserving its historical environment.
According to historical sources, two of the ancient twelve gates of Tashkent—the Sagbon and Chigatay gates—are located in the area of the current Guzarboshi neighborhood. This area was known as an important entry point where trade, craftsmanship, and agriculture developed over centuries.
The history of the Guzarboshi neighborhood dates back to the late 19th century. Initially, this area was called Sagbon neighborhood, later it was named Ittifaq in the 1930s. In 1999, the new Guzarboshi neighborhood was formed by merging the entire Academic Obid Sodikov neighborhood, as well as parts of Koštut, Achabod, and Shoshiy neighborhoods.
Currently, 8,110 residents live in the neighborhood, with 2,404 families. The area has 303 single-family houses and 34 multi-story buildings. The main areas of the neighborhood cover Nurafshon, Sagbon, Farobi, Shoshiy, Sariksuv, Maqola, Hurriyet, Kokzor, Omonat, and Tarix streets.
The construction and improvement works carried out in recent years have significantly changed the appearance of the neighborhood. In particular, large-scale construction was carried out under the 'Old City Reconstruction' program. Wide and smooth roads were established instead of old streets, and multi-story buildings, playgrounds, and trade and service facilities were built. Internal roads were asphalted, and electricity supply and engineering-communication networks were renewed.
Great attention is paid to issues of social support for the population in the neighborhood. Regular assistance is provided by the state and sponsors to people who are insufficiently supported, needy, bereaved, and disabled.
Furthermore, additional educational buildings were constructed at the 11th general education school due to the increase in the number of students, which is one way to create conditions for the qualified education of the younger generation.
As part of measures to turn the 'Old City' area into a tourist attraction in 2025, 21 houses along the Kaikovus canal were capitalized, which created more convenient conditions for the residents. These works serve to preserve the historical appearance of the neighborhood and increase its tourist attractiveness.
The Guzarboshi neighborhood is proud of its famous children, such as Obid Sodikov and Abdulvali Abduvahobov, and Lieutenant General Sobirjon Okhunjonov. The neighborhood citizens' assembly carries out systematic work on resolving citizen appeals, strengthening family peace, preventing violations of the law, and supporting families in need of social protection.
In the near future, plans are underway to restore the appearance of the neighborhood to a modern look, build kindergartens, green the area, develop tourism directions, and create new conveniences for the residents. The Guzarboshi neighborhood demonstrates the potential of the neighborhood system in New Uzbekistan.
