Tashkent Modernist Architecture. Modernity and tradition in Central Asia is part of the Tentative list of Uzbekistan in order to qualify for inclusion in the World Heritage List.

Tashkent Modernist Architecture. Modernity and tradition in Central Asia comprises 16 monuments showing a twentieth-century capital's postwar architecture. It was both stimulated by Soviet modernization in the 1960s and by the process of indigenization.

Note about the locations: although the tentative site description lists 16 locations, reliable information leading up to the 2026 nomination suggests that only 10 will be put forward. The 6 that have been overlooked can be recognized by (dropped) behind their location names.
