WNAM MONITORING: Sustainable urban development will be a key topic at the International Investment Forum TIF-2025, which will be held in Ashgabat on September 18-19. The city of Arkadag will be presented as an advanced example of an environmentally oriented urban project in the Central Asian region.
Arkadag is the first “smart” city in Turkmenistan, built from scratch taking into account modern principles of sustainable development. Its infrastructure uses energy-efficient technologies, digital control systems, automated lighting, smart transport and security solutions. Particular attention is paid to reducing the carbon footprint: from the use of solar energy to the creation of a network of charging stations and electric buses.
The experience of the city of Arkadag is considered as a practical implementation of the provisions of the “New Urban Agenda” adopted at the Habitat III conference. The forum will feature a panel discussion with international experts, representatives of development companies and financial institutions, where the possibilities of scaling such solutions for the entire region will be discussed.
The forum organizers note that TIF-2025 will become a platform for exchanging experiences and discussing prospects for international cooperation in the field of sustainable urbanism and green infrastructure.
