Bishkek layout expires in 2025, Union of Architects asks financing from government

AKIPRESS.COM - At a meeting with Prime Minister Ulukbek Maripov, Chairman of the Union of Architects Baisen Kariev voiced the main problems in the construction sphere and asked for funding for the development of Bishkek city general plan.
He said underdevelopment of engineering networks is one of the problems holding back the city's development.
"Monopoly of engineering companies comes from the USSR, but they act based on their own interests, although they should provide construction companies with engineering conditions. Now we constantly face the fact that the industry does not get capacity. They are underdeveloped. This problem must be addressed at a high level. Engineering capacity should be 5 years ahead of construction," he said.
The second problem is the general plan that was developed in 2006, and its term starts to expire from this year.
The problem of financing the general plan must be addressed ASAP to prepare it by 2025, he explained.
