PLANNING AND DESIGN FEATURES OF MID- AND HIGH-RISE RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS IN KHOREZM CITIES

Abstract

Since Uzbekistan gained independence, rapid urbanization and housing reforms have significantly influenced the architectural development of regional cities. In Khorezm cities, population growth and limited urban land resources have stimulated the construction of mid- and high-rise residential buildings. This thesis examines the planning and design features of such buildings, focusing on spatial organization, façade solutions, and climatic adaptation. The study highlights current challenges and proposes future development directions aimed at improving residential quality and architectural identity in Khorezm cities. The analysis is based on field observation and comparative evaluation of recent residential projects in Khorezm cities.
