Tashkent - (Uzbekistan)

Tashkent

Tashkent is the capital city ofUzbekistan. The city has a mixture of modern new office buildings, hotels, parks and crumbling Soviet style apartment blocks.Over the last few years the Uzbek government has embarked on a major reconstruction program in the centre of the city. Roads, government buildings and parks are all being reconstructed (many historical buildings and sites are bulldozed in process). To the visitor, the new city looks very impressive, although many of the local residents have yet to see any improvement in their residential areas.
