01:30Against this backdrop, Azerbaijan is exploring new approaches to urban planning and development using reconstruction projects and large-scale planning
01:40initiatives to test contemporary urban solutions.
01:44Experts say that approaches to urban planning and urban design are evolving day by day.
01:50We need firstly consider safety. As a state committee on urban planning and architecture, we work closely with relevant authorities
01:58to make sure that every settlement where people are going to move to relocate are safe.
02:06At the same time, we are keeping the patterns of their history in these new projects.
02:13Urban solutions developed within one country travel across borders. As cities face similar pressures, cooperation and shared expertise are becoming
02:23essential.
02:24The Kahram Ammaras case focused on environmentally friendly and energy efficient planning, housing construction and the integration of modern infrastructure,
02:36as well as sustainable and inclusive urban reconstruction.
02:40One of the most important approaches is that housing construction is planned from the initial stage in conjunction with transport
02:48connections, social infrastructure and public services.
02:51This approach facilitates the formation of functional communities instead of isolated residential estates.
03:01The architectural firm Chapman Taylor has extensive experience in urban design and has been actively cooperating with Azerbaijan in recent
03:11years.
03:12One of its latest projects in the country is the development of the master plan for the city of Nakhchivan.
03:18It's how to create active edges that lead people through the public spaces, the shop fronts, which are bright at
03:25night, that creates this safety feeling.
03:28And then, obviously, there's a growing population, so new housing demand and new ways of dealing with it.
03:36Quite often, taking examples from Europe and the West is the introduction of the perimeter blocks in Azerbaijan with the
03:44semi-private spaces for residents.
03:46That's also new here. And all of that, you can see, being reflected in our proposals for Nakhchivan.
03:53As cities continue to grow and evolve, the search for effective urban solutions is becoming increasingly urgent.
04:02We learn from each other. What we bring to the table is the knowledge, the expertise and experience.
04:07Starting maybe from Shusha, the pearl of Karabakh.
04:10Well, the history is unique. It's Shusha, Jabrai, also Fuzuli Hospital was in Karabakh.
04:16To me, the uniqueness is the history and, you know, the situation.
04:23It's actually talking to people, designing for them, not for us, and seeing the feedback and the excitement when they
04:31can move back home.
04:33I would say nothing can beat it.
04:35As the World Urban Forum approaches, international cooperation is important in enhancing Azerbaijan's role in global urban development discussions.
04:45This cooperation creates an opportunity for the exchange of experience at an international level within the framework of global discourse.
