Tashkent City Park (Uzbek: Tashkent City bog`i) is a city park in the center of Tashkent, the largest recreational park area in Uzbekistan. Located on the territory of the international business center Tashkent City.
The functional model of the park, within which scenarios for using the park territory were programmed, was developed by the Russian company KB Strelka.[1]
The designers of the park were the companies Prime Tower Group, Özgüven mimarlik (Turkey) and Spectrum (Russia), and the developer of the landscape concept was SF Landscape Architecture (Italy). The landscape design of the park, including the arrangement of green spaces, was developed by the Turkish company MDesign.
The general contractor for the project was Discover Invest.
The official opening of the park took place on October 13, 2019.
Tashkent City Park, as part of the Tashkent City IBC project, was built on the site of the demolished Olmazor and Ukchi neighborhoods.
On July 3, 2018 the public council at the Tashkent authority building and the directorate of the Tashkent City IBC, together with Strelka KB and Alpha Education, organized a project seminar with the aim of collecting the opinions of active and interested citizens about what kind of park they need, as well as attracting creative people who are ready to offer unique ideas both at the design stage and during the implementation of the park.[1]
Public discussion of a project of this scale was held in Uzbekistan for the first time.[2]
Historical Monuments
There are two cultural heritage sites of Uzbekistan, dating back to the 19th–20th centuries on the territory of the park. During the creation of the park they were preserved and restored:
- Tomb of the Eshonzodas dynasty, where four of its descendants are buried. The representative of the dynasty, Akhmad Eshon Shoshiy Korotoshiy, translated the Holy Qur'an into Uzbek. Currently, the author's manuscripts are stored in the Office of Muslims of Uzbekistan.
- The Orifjonboy mosque, built at the beginning of the 20th century, is one of the first buildings erected in Uzbekistan in the Art Nouveau style. The mosque bears the name of its creator, at whose expense the construction was organized.
