Urbanization and industrialization in Uzbekistan: challenges, problems and prospects (2009/01)
Publication year: 2009
Type: Policy Brief
Keywords: Urbanization, Industrialization, urban poverty
Currently there is a need to elaborate a long-term strategy of industrial and innovative development and a State policy for rapid urbanization of the country that would be integrated into it. Here, a particular difficulty in elaboration and implementation of industrialization and urbanization policy stems from the fact that the Government of Uzbekistan has to, in contrast to many developed countries, implement these two strategies simultaneously. However, international experience (China, Malaysia, and others) proves that implementation of rapid urbanization and industrialization may succeed, provided that a specific state policy was developed and steadily implemented.
The goal of this analytical note is to produce recommendations on development of the medium-term State strategy of rapid industrialization and innovative development and urbanization in Uzbekistan.
