Architecture and urban planning of Nukus city in the context of changing water and ecological conditions of the region

Abstract

In this article, the influence of changes in the water-ecological situation of the Aral Sea region on the architecture and urban planning system of the city of Nukus is scientifically analyzed. Environmental problems caused by the drying up of the Aral Sea in recent decades, in particular, water scarcity, increased atmospheric dust, and land salinization, have a direct impact on urban infrastructure, living conditions, and climatic conditions. The study examined the directions of sustainable development of the city of Nukus based on scientific and theoretical analysis methods, modeling of urban planning systems, and statistical analysis. According to the results, the population growth rate in the city over the past 30 years has been accompanied by a decrease in water resources, which requires new ecological and architectural solutions. The research results can also have practical significance in the formation of urban planning policy in other arid regions of Uzbekistan.
