Ana Bibilashvili - Lelo for Georgia

Tbilisi needs a radically different and well-thought-out strategy for sustainable urban development. Key components of the party platform proposed by Lelo for Georgia address all major challenges currently facing the city. A proper urban policy aimed at improving city dwellers' quality of life is among the party's major policy priorities. The actual implementation of such policy requires making tremendously impactful decisions related to city planning, transportation, infrastructure, environment, and the preservation of cultural heritage.

 

To ensure safe living conditions in the city, local construction regulations must comply with relevant European standards, the amount of green infrastructure in the city per resident should be increased, decentralized and polycentric development should be encouraged, inner-city transportation issues should be resolved in the interests of pedestrians, the role of public transport in the city transportation network should be increased and alternative eco-friendly means of transportation promoted, the quality of air and water should be improved, the Mtkvari River should be cleaned and integrated into the tourist and transportation network, a coherent policy of waste management should be implemented, a forward-looking social policy aimed at improving the living conditions of the socially vulnerable population should be proposed, and healthy lifestyles should be promoted.
