The Tashkent city administration has launched a large-scale project to update the panoramic images of the capital on the Google Street View platform.
According to a message from the press service of the Tashkent administration, new photos of the city's streets and tourist attractions will be taken as part of this project to demonstrate to an international audience. The update will allow Google Maps users to virtually explore the streets and landmarks of the capital, familiarize themselves with the urban environment, and plan travel routes in advance.
These panoramic images will enable users to take virtual tours of the city without being physically in Tashkent. City officials emphasized that the digital representation of the capital must reflect all changes occurring in the city.
The updated panoramas are intended to showcase the modern appearance of Tashkent and make information about its tourist attractions more accessible to potential visitors. The significance of this international project is particularly high given the global audience of Google Maps, which, according to the administration, is used by over two billion people monthly.
Thus, the updated images can serve as an additional tool for promoting Tashkent's tourism potential abroad. For foreign guests, the virtual tour can become part of the trip planning process, allowing them to study points of interest and check the location of attractions in advance. The city administration stated that the goal of this initiative is to present modern Tashkent and its tourism opportunities to the world public. However, the announcement did not specify when the panorama update is expected to be completed or how the photography will be conducted.
