Declared by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev in 2017 as the first phase of a national Safe City programme, Tashkent's rollout combined a converged command center, a unified LTE network, a data center and high-definition cameras with facial-recognition and big-data analytics software, built by Huawei with CITIC Group and China South Industries Group. Independent analysts flag privacy concerns and China's growing footprint in Uzbekistan's tech sector alongside the security gains; the programme expanded to other Uzbek cities from 2019.
