Chief Architect of Ulaanbaatar city, Tugsdelger Chinbat, and city officials visited the area around Nogoon Nuur in Sukhbaatar District’s 9th khoroo to review plans for new green space development.
“Population growth in the 9th, 10th, and 11th khoroos of Sukhbaatar District has created a new residential zone, but access to green spaces, schools, and kindergartens remains limited. Under the ‘20-Minute City’ concept, we are working to create a more accessible and livable environment. As part of this, we plan to clear a 4.5-hectare area near Nogoon Nuur and establish a public park featuring an artificial lake,” Tugsdelger noted.
The Chief Architect added that 85 land plots are affected by the project, of which around 40 have already been cleared. “Studies show that wetland soil releases twice as much oxygen as forested areas. Since the Nogoon Nuur area has marshy soil, it is highly suitable for developing an artificial lake and green park.”
City officials also announced plans to build small neighborhood parks with green spaces in 51 locations across Ulaanbaatar. Architectural planning has been approved for 34 of these sites, which are now in the design phase.
Additionally, to promote urban tourism, the city is developing a walking route within a 1.5-2 km radius connecting Gandantegchinlin Monastery, the State Department Store, the Chinggis Khaan National Museum, the Urt Tsagaan Park, and the future Nogoon Nuur Park.
