Seismic activity in the country does not concern officials
During the discussion of the new general plan for the capital Bishkek, a decision was made to construct 40- and 50-story buildings.
In the central districts and new areas of the city, the construction of mid-rise buildings ranging from 4 to 8 stories is planned.
Multi-story buildings with heights from 9 to 14 stories will be erected both in the center of Bishkek and in the southern part of the Lenin district. Similar buildings may also be constructed in the southeastern part of the Oktyabrsky district.
On the site of the old racetrack, 14-story residential buildings will appear; they will also be built along Aitmatov Street, near the canal; above Aaly Tokombaev Street, where new complexes are currently being constructed; on Ankara Street and in the village of Orok.
Additionally, on Dostoevsky Street, the construction of a residential complex with 35 and 40 stories is planned, which will become the first pilot investment project. High-rise buildings may also emerge in the Lenin, Pervomaisky, and Oktyabrsky districts.
The Deputy Minister of Construction, Architecture, and Housing and Communal Services, Imanakun uulu Talantbek, noted that it is possible to build even buildings taller than 40 stories in Bishkek, including 50-55 stories.
It should be reminded that Bishkek and a large part of Kyrgyzstan are located in a seismically active zone. The Issyk-Ata fault runs through the southern part of the capital, where, during Soviet times, the construction of multi-story residential buildings was prohibited.
Nevertheless, experts from the National Academy of Sciences of the Kyrgyz Republic and the Institute of Seismology have repeatedly emphasized that modern technologies and the experience of countries like Japan allow for construction even in areas where it was previously considered impossible.
