The Legislative Chamber Protects Cultural Sites and Botanical Gardens
Uzbekistan
Cultural Sites – The people's common heritage. This draft law strictly prohibits the privatization of parks, boulevards, and other cultural recreation areas.
At a recent session of the Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the Social Democratic Party "Adolat" proposed a ban on the privatization of parks, boulevards, and other recreational spaces. This proposal received broad support from both deputies and the public.
Based on this initiative, the factions of the "Adolat" SDP and the Ecological Party developed a new draft law, which was approved in its first reading by the deputies. The adoption of this document represents a strategic step toward preserving the country's cultural recreation areas and natural resources.
According to the new draft law:
Privatization of cultural recreation areas, construction of buildings on their land, or reduction of their size is prohibited.
Construction is allowed only for lightweight structures.
Criminal liability for violations of these rules will be increased.
This draft law not only serves to protect nature but also helps maintain safe and high-quality recreation areas for the public.
Botanical Gardens Under Protection
Another important innovation is the proposal to include “botanical gardens” in the list of protected natural areas. This would mean:
Privatization of botanical gardens and their land is prohibited.
Construction or expansion of built-up areas in these territories is strictly forbidden.
Botanical gardens are significant not only for scientific research but also as spaces for providing natural beauty and ecological stability to the public.
The draft law was unanimously supported by the deputies. Representatives of the "Adolat" SDP emphasized that protecting cultural and ecological values is a step toward the prosperity and future of the people.
According to the discussions at the meeting, this draft law is of vital importance for meeting the public’s needs for cultural recreation and ecological balance. Uzbekistan is entering a new phase in the conservation of its ecological and cultural heritage.
With the adoption of this draft law, the country's green spaces will increase, and cultural sites will remain the common heritage of the people.
