Tashkent is talking to McKinsey about its future. The capital's mayor, Shavkat Umurzakov, met a delegation from the US consulting firm led by global managing partner Bob Sternfels on November 3.
The talks covered a single development vision for Tashkent to 2030, better city management and more effective delivery of projects, not just beautification.
Why it matters: hiring the world's best-known consultancy to draw the map signals that Tashkent's leadership wants its growth planned, not improvised, and will be judged against the plan.
