  • Bishkek Mayor Aybek Dzhunushaliev met with landowners in contour No. 151 who seek permission to build housing.
  • The land is currently designated for agricultural use, and the city's master plan until 2050 does not yet specify its functional zoning.
  • The mayor assured that the land would not be confiscated and proposed defining its functional zoning, potentially allowing for multi-apartment buildings.

Bishkek Mayor Aybek Dzhunushaliev has addressed the concerns of landowners in contour No. 151 who are seeking approval for residential construction. The landowners' request was discussed during a meeting with the mayor, as reported by the municipality.

Currently, the parcels in question are classified as agricultural land. Furthermore, Bishkek's General Plan, which extends to 2050, has not yet designated a specific functional zone for this territory. Consequently, the existing land designation does not permit the construction of residential buildings.

Mayor Dzhunushaliev reassured the landowners that their property rights would be respected. "Nobody is claiming your land plots. We have no plans to take away your state land deeds," he stated. He proposed that the functional zoning for the area be defined, suggesting that this process could potentially include provisions for the construction of multi-apartment buildings.

To move forward, the Bishkek Main Directorate of Urban Planning and Architecture has been tasked with preparing proposals for establishing the functional zoning. These proposals will then be used to develop a draft resolution for the cabinet. In the interim, landowners have been urged not to commence any unauthorized construction, as measures will be taken against any illegal structures.

Nobody is claiming your land plots. We have no plans to take away your state land deeds.
