Azerbaijan unveiled a series of strategic initiatives focused on sustainable urban development, targeting the enhancement of climate-resilient and inclusive urban environments. "Master plans, developed and regularly updated over a 20-year period, are a key tool for sustainable urbanism. To date, master plans have been updated for 65 of the country's 79 cities, with another 10 pending approval. The flagship example is the Baku 2040 Master Plan, which envisions polycentric development, cultural heritage protection, rational land use, and the creation of an environmentally responsible urban environment," said Guliyev. The event also presented a sectoral action map for sustainable cities, which envisions intersectoral collaboration, coordination on international platforms, and the integration of climate solutions into development policy.
