A phenomenon such as integrated construction of new villages and creation of new urban districts is not extraordinary any longer in our country where hundreds of industrial and social facilities are being constructed, new transport corridors are being built, tracts of virgin land are being developed, the most remote settlements and especially desert areas are being transformed beyond recognition.
In fact, this work began in March 2007 with the construction of Esenguly village in the southwest of Turkmenistan that had gained a new life and given a start to the national rural development programme. Since then the littoral region has become a proving ground for innovations in urban planning and technology, an engine of the rapid changes, a symbol and synonym of which is the Avaza national tourism zone being created on the Caspian seashore that has picked up the baton of the marathon.
The examples of newly built settlements of the modern model in the framework of this programme include the etrap centres, such as Dovletli, Altyn Sahra and Ruhubelent in the tracts of virgin lands. The foundation stone of Garlyk village in Lebap Velayat has been laid.
The year 2012 was marked by a series of remarkable architectural and building premieres. Berkarar village (Ak Bugdai Etrap) and Yzgant village (Geoktepe Etrap) in Ahal Velayat were 'modernized': the complexes of newly built facilities that changed the look of these settlements were put into operation there. Bagtyyarlyk village in Mary Velayat and Belek village in Balkan Velayat also saw drastic changes.
Another evidence of it is the Resolution of the President of Turkmenistan authorizing to build a new village in the territory of Yandaklyagyz Gengeshlik in Geoktepe Etrap, Ahal Velyat.
A kindergarten for 200 youngest villagers which will have the conditions conducive to their comfortable, exciting and interesting leisure time, games and learning, creating and sporting activities like everything built for young citizens of Turkmenistan in the epoch of might and happiness will be built in the new settlement. A school supplied with state-of-the-art computer and laboratory equipment for 400 schoolchildren will open in the village in less than two years. Hundreds of one-storey houses, administrative buildings and other facilities are to be built there in accordance with the development plan. There will be water supply and sewer systems, power transmission and communication lines, intrarural and approach roads in the new village.
The favourable conditions of life: from comfortable houses to cultural and sports, health care and service facilities will be created for villagers. The overall support and assistance from the Government is a guarantee of the high status of such projects aimed at creating a new model for life in rural areas.
The rural theme is a key one on the agenda of the policy of the Turkmen state. It is natural as the revival of rural areas in Turkmenistan is closely linked to the development of the agro-industrial sector. It is not only a basic sector of Turkmen economy, the groundwork for food security of the Turkmen state, but also the traditional way of life, the lifestyle of the Turkmen people who practiced farming and animal husbandry in ancient times.
The Internet and digital technologies, urban infrastructure and communications come to rural areas together with the construction. Using substantial financial resources to develop rural settlements, the Government takes measure to make them attractive for youth, ensure productive labour and comfortable dignified life, promote entrepreneurship, motivate qualified specialists, increase employment and income of citizens, preserve the unique culture, improve local government and encourage people to have big families with many children in rural areas.
the meeting of the Elders' Council in October 2012, President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov focused on building new urban settlements and developing the rural administrative territorial structure and suggested selecting an etrap in each velayat where the new model for Turkmen villages and the economic and investment mechanisms of rural development would be tested. These measures will enable to develop and adopt new standards of life in rural areas.
It is not about the abstract ideas about how to make life better but specifically about the new urban planning practice aimed at creating a comfortable living environment that encompasses comprehensive and balanced development of all settlements. And the guideline on this way is the welfare of people!
Therefore, Turkmenistan intends not to slow the pace of social construction in the coming years but to implement ambitious projects in this sphere. Formulating the new urban planning concept, the Turkmen leader identified the fulfilment of the complex tasks of modernization and harmonization of the living space of every citizen as its key objectives.
