Making the case for accelerated urbanization in Tajikistan

Tajikistan is undergoing rapid urbanization, and the Tajikistan National Urban Assessment serves as a strategic guide to harness this transformation. The study provides a comprehensive framework to promote integrated urban development, facilitating that cities become more livable, green, competitive, resilient, and inclusive. By addressing key urban challenges and opportunities, the report aims to support the country in leveraging its demographic dividend for long-term growth.

At the core of the assessment is a focus on improving quality of life and fostering sustainable economic growth. The study examines critical areas such as urban planning, financial management, economic development, and environmental sustainability, all with the goal of driving inclusive and sustainable urban expansion. To achieve this, the report outlines a clear roadmap with short- (1-5 years), medium- (5-10 years), and long-term (10-20 years) strategies, ensuring that urbanization aligns with the nation’s broader development agenda.
