Kyrgyzstan’s State Agency for Land Resources under the Cabinet of

covered. The largest share consisted of apartments and residential
houses,” he said.


Karypov noted that the project also included the valuation of
large commercial properties, including shopping and retail centers.
He added that modern information systems and heat maps are actively
used to analyze real estate and territorial distribution,
particularly in the cities of Bishkek and Osh.

spatial information, and digital solutions to support urban
planning and achieve sustainable development goals,” he said.

sharing at such forums will contribute to the development of modern
territorial management systems and sustainable urbanization.
