BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 5. We cannot change
the historical architectural appearance of Baku, President of
Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said during an interview with local television channels on January 5,
Trend reports.
"The management of the road transport system and prioritizing
micro-mobility, i.e., public transport, may be a way out. Our
Ministry of Digital Development and Transport is working actively
in this direction, attracting international experts,” the President
added.
The head of state noted that the map of Baku's new road
infrastructure has been approved, the locations of 10 new metro
stations have been determined, and two additional depots will also
be built. Optimization projects are being implemented at existing
metro stations. “Seven metro stations have been built over the past
20 years. If they had not been built, what would the situation be
like now?” President Ilham Aliyev said, adding that the process of
micro-mobility, providing more space for pedestrians and organizing
some streets exclusively for pedestrians, is ongoing and the public
will see this in the coming months. At the same time, the creation
of new public spaces in Baku has become very widespread.
