The Role of Historical Cities of Uzbekistan in Forming the Spatial-planning Structure

Historical cities of Uzbekistan, including Bukhara, Samarkand, Khiva, Shahrisabz, Tashkent, and Kokand, have played a pivotal role in shaping the spatial-planning structure of the region. These cities were strategically established in areas with favorable landscape conditions, abundant natural resources, and developed transport and communication networks. Such factors served as key determinants in defining their spatial structure, functional zoning, and architectural appearance. The study highlights how these historical cities' development was influenced by their geographical advantages, contributing significantly to the region's urban planning heritage.
