“The main issue in Baku’s Master Plan is reducing traffic congestion,” Head of the Main Department of Architecture and Urban Planning of Baku under the State Committee for Urban Planning and Architecture, Riad Gasimov, said during an event dedicated to the Master Plan of Baku held within the framework of WUF13, APA reports.
He stated that the goal is to establish sustainable urban planning infrastructure: “Another issue is the protection of historical and cultural monuments. For us, the priority is integrated and efficient mobility. A modern city cannot function effectively without a well-connected and sustainable transport system. The Master Plan prioritizes public transport, multimodal connectivity, congestion reduction, and better integration between residential, commercial, and recreational zones. Our goal is not only to improve mobility, but also to create an urban structure where people spend less time on the road.”
Riad Gasimov also spoke about the work being carried out to preserve historical and cultural identity:
“Baku is a city with unique architectural and cultural heritage reflecting centuries of history and intercultural exchange. While modernizing the city, preserving its identity remains one of our main responsibilities. Therefore, the Master Plan aims to create harmony between modern urban development and heritage preservation, ensuring innovative and sustainable development while protecting historical architecture.”
