The Tashkent city administration announced that an open green park and youth city will be created on a 4.36-hectare plot previously occupied by the Tashkent City Oncology Center. Existing buildings will be preserved, renovated, and adapted for public use.
Authorities emphasized that the creation of the youth city will not reduce the park's area. Educational and creative centers, a library, coworking spaces, simulation workshops, and startup studios will be located in the old buildings.
According to the city administration, the project does not plan to build separate commercial offices or other retail facilities. The area around the buildings will be landscaped and greened, remaining an open public space for residents of nearby mahallas, youth, and other citizens.
The main part of the plot will be allocated to the green park, while existing structures will be used to implement educational, creative, and public projects. The Tashkent administration also presented visualizations and parts of the presentation for the planned space.
The creation of the youth city is provided for in the road map for socio-economic development of Tashkent for the period 2026–2027, which was approved by a presidential decree dated July 27, 2026.
In accordance with this document, the youth city will provide training in modern professions demanded by the labor market, as well as future specialties through a dual education system. State buildings and structures within the youth city are planned to be leased to entrepreneurs working in the industry, construction, and service sectors. In return, tenants undertake to provide training to local residents and youth under the dual education system.
The project also includes high-tech, industrial-engineering, and service zones, educational and creative centers, a library, simulation workshops with modern infrastructure, and platforms for advanced practices. It also provides for a youth park, business offices, an entrepreneurship zone, and a startup studio.
A key aspect of the project is cooperation with entrepreneurs who organize dual education programs. This model is expected to help provide employment for residents and youth who have been trained in the youth city.
Responsibility for the implementation of the project is assigned to the Tashkent city administration, the Ministry of Health, and the Ministry of Economy and Finance. It is planned that all planned activities will be completed by December 2026.
