Azerbaijan’s post-war reconstruction efforts in Garabagh and Eastern Zangezur represent one of the most ambitious redevelopment projects in modern history. Following the Second Garabagh War in 2020, the government embarked on a large-scale initiative to rebuild cities and villages that had been completely destroyed during nearly three decades of occupation. This process is not just about physical reconstruction—it is a strategic effort to reintegrate these territories into Azerbaijan’s economic and social fabric, ensuring the return of displaced communities and fostering long-term stability.

At the heart of this effort is a commitment to sustainable development, modern urban planning, and smart infrastructure. The reconstruction plans emphasize green energy, innovative city design, and economic revitalization to transform war-ravaged areas into thriving urban centers. With massive investments in transportation, industry, agriculture, and tourism, Azerbaijan is laying the foundation for a prosperous and resilient future in the liberated territories.

The city’s revival symbolizes Azerbaijan’s determination to rebuild not only homes and infrastructure but also the lives and aspirations of those returning.
