COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND PARTICIPATION IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SUSTAINABLE URBAN PLANNING AND RENEWABLE ENERGY INTEGRATION: LESSONS FROM TASHKENT

Аннотация

Initiatives to integrate renewable energy into urban planning and daily life require community engagement and participation. The level and kind of community involvement and participation, however, varies between communities and nations. In Tashkent, Uzbekistan, where initiatives to include renewable energy were put into place, this research investigates the lessons that may be learnt by including the community in such activities. Case studies, literature reviews, and comparative data analysis are all included in the study methodology. The findings demonstrate that initiatives fusing sustainable urban planning and renewable energy have raised community involvement in Tashkent. To promote transparency, inclusion, and capacity building, however, more work must be done. The essay makes several proposals for further research, which policymakers should take into account. KEYWORDS Community Engagement, Participation, Sustainable Urban Planning, Renewable Energy Integration, Tashkent.
