This research paper presents an in-depth analysis of the development and implementation of cycling infrastructure in Tashkent, aimed at promoting sustainable urban mobility. By integrating environmental features and urban planning best practices, the study outlines a framework for evaluating and enhancing cycling opportunities within the city. The research highlights the strategic planning of 250 km of bicycle lanes by 2025, the establishment of a bike-sharing system, and the provision of secure bicycle parking facilities as key initiatives undertaken by local authorities. It discusses the importance of integrating these cycling lanes with the city’s arterial routes, particularly alongside the Bo'rijar Canal, to improve network functionality and accessibility. The paper also emphasizes the significance of color-coding in delineating cycling lanes from pedestrian areas to ensure safety and ease of navigation. Through empirical research and visual analysis, the study demonstrates the potential of well-planned cycling infrastructure in elevating urban livability and supporting environmental sustainability. The findings aim to inform future urban planning strategies, setting a precedent for developing cycling networks in other growing cities.
