Experts from Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, alongside representatives from international organizations, discussed issues such as increasing urbanization, inefficient land use and spatial planning, and the insufficient integration of risk-related data into planning processes. The discussions also covered Switzerland’s experience in seismic risk management, Japan’s approaches to urban resilience and climate change adaptation, and scientific-technical cooperation among the seismological institutes of Central Asian nations.
