Sustainable urban development will be one of the key topics at the TIF-2025 International Investment Forum in Ashgabat, which will take place on 18-19 September. The city of Arkadag will be presented as an example of an environmentally-friendly ‘smart’ city in Central Asia, according to the news agency Orient.

The city of Arkadag was built from scratch according to the principles of sustainable development: energy-efficient solutions, digital urban infrastructure management systems and minimal impact on nature are used.

The city has automated lighting, transport, utilities and security systems, actively uses renewable energy sources, including solar panels, and has created infrastructure for low-carbon transport.

The city demonstrates the implementation of the New Urban Agenda and shows how investments in ‘green’ infrastructure and innovation contribute to social, economic and environmental sustainability.

The forum will feature a panel discussion with international experts, developers and financial institutions, where Arkadag's experience will be discussed as a possible model for the entire region.

TIF-2025 will serve as a platform for studying successful examples of sustainable urban development and discussing prospects for international cooperation.
