Please have a look at the report to find application of innovative analytical tools, deep qualitative case studies and international best practices. Looking forward to building on this to support sustainable #uzUrbanization@mmantovanelli1@SamehNWahba @RnittiWb
@WorldBank's new report offers an overview of key #urbanization trends in #Uzbekistan🇺🇿 and issues associated with it, as well as recommendations on advancing policy #reforms related to urban development, says that the time to act is now! https://t.co/XHqd4GKBrN #UZurbanization
Specifically the report focuses on two main challenges or #UzUrbanization: (1) inefficient factor markets, (2) poorly managed urban growth; and looks into causes of these issues, and proposes priority direction for policy reforms. @mmantovanelli1@SamehNWahba @RnittiWb
While #reforms directly affecting #urbanization are already underway in #Uzbekistan, they can be more effective if they are based on a better understanding of the ongoing urbanization process & its challenges, says a new @WorldBank report. https://t.co/XHqd4GKBrN #UZurbanization
In the report, we show a that while so far #UzUrbanization is not producing development benefits - the potential gains of sustainable urbanization remain vast if favorable conditions are created through policy action and investment. @mmantovanelli1@SamehNWahba @RnittiWb
To make most of #urbanization opportunity, #Uzbekistan🇺🇿 needs to learn from global experiences, understand the challenges that growing #cities face, & act quickly to create favorable conditions for urbanization, says a @WorldBank report. https://t.co/XHqd4GKBrN #UZurbanization
The launch event proved that the Min Economy and Povt Reduction of #Uzbekistan is committed to advancing reforms for sustainable and productive urbanization. I am looking forward to further productive collaboration.
@SamehNWahba@mmantovanelli1 @RnittiWb #UzUrbanization
Growth of #cities are defining development trends in #Uzbekistan, & @GOVuz has a unique opportunity to use them as drivers of development. @WorldBank team & @DmitryCities presented a new report explaining how these goals can be achieved. https://t.co/XHqd4GKBrN #UZurbanization
After 18 month of work with a fantastic team we finally launched "Time Is Now" a report on #Urbanization in Uzbekistan. This was a long, at times challenging but extremely rewarding journey, that I hope will open new avenues for development in the country! https://t.co/bdaz97W9M2
So, as a result of the last 3 months, I have a lot of thoughts and plans of things I want to be doing, and i hope I will share them in the future. For now I want to talk about things I know best - cities.
I went through a complicated personal journey over the last three months, a big result of which is that I decided that a big part of living in the post 2.24.22 world as a Russian is being my best self, doing my best work and not forgetting of selfcare.
After a long break in this challenging times, I am ready to come back here and share some results of my work. I have to preempt it by saying, that by showcasing personal professional news I don't want to distract from the war in Ukraine. ->
