A
particularly significant result was the indicator of human capital: Tashkent
ranked 108th in the world. In 2024, the city was on the 136th position, and in 2025
- on the 123rd. Thus, over the three issues of the rating, the capital has
demonstrated steady positive dynamics in terms of the indicator reflecting the
knowledge, skills and professional potential of the population.
This is not
the only international study that highlights the dynamics of Tashkent's
development. According to a study by the Boston Consulting Group Built to
Change: How Cities Compete for the Future, conducted in 2025 and published on
May 21, 2026, Tashkent ranked third among 80 cities in the world in terms of
speed of change, second only to Shenzhen and Riyadh. At the same time, the
capital took the first place in terms of the rate of changes in economic
activity.
BCG
assessed not only the current state of the cities, but also the speed of their
development, adaptation and improvement of conditions for residents. The study
covers more than 200 indicators and takes into account the results of a survey
of 24,000 residents of cities around the world.
Behind
these indicators are people who contribute daily to the development of the
capital: teachers and doctors, engineers and entrepreneurs, specialists of city
services, students and young professionals. It is their knowledge, initiative
and hard work that contribute to the further development of Tashkent.
These
results became possible thanks to the transformations initiated by President
Shavkat Mirziyoyev, the attention of the Presidential Administration to the
development of the capital, the coordinated work of city and district teams,
the efforts of business and the active participation of residents.
International
analysts have also included Tashkent in the list of Cities to Watch, cities
whose development is recommended to be monitored. The capital's khokimiyat
notes that this is a recognition of joint efforts to develop the city.
At the same
time, high positions in international rankings are important primarily when the
changes taking place affect the daily lives of citizens. The capital will
continue to work on the quality of the urban environment, clean air and comfort
of each district. Economic growth should create new opportunities for residents
to receive education, work, develop their own businesses and raise children in
Tashkent.
"We
are proud of what we have already achieved together. And we know for whom we
must continue to work - for the sake of the residents of Tashkent," the
capital's khokimiyat noted.
