October 15, Fineko/abc.az. One of the defining features of the "Master Plan for the Development of Baku City until 2040" is the adoption of a polycentric development model, ABC.AZ informs, quoting Anar Guliyev, the chairman of the State Committee on Urban Planning and Architecture.
Speaking during the 3rd Urban Forum of Azerbaijan (NUFA3) held in Khankandi, Guliyev explained that, rather than concentrating all activities in a single center, the model envisions a network of interconnected centers and sub-centers across Baku: "Each center will have its own distinct character, infrastructure, and economic function."
The official emphasized that since 2018, Azerbaijan has pursued a comprehensive and long-term spatial development approach through the preparation and regular updating of master plans for its cities: "Most of these plans have already been completed or are in the implementation phase, developed in collaboration with international experts and aligned with global standards."
