London-based Cross Works unveiled plans for New Tashkent: 25,000 hectare expansion east of existing city between Chirchiq and Karasu Rivers. Designed to accommodate 2.5 million people. Won international design competition early 2023. Cross Works spearheading masterplanning, digital twin development, coordination of multidisciplinary team. Cross Works developed digital twin for project: data-driven, dynamic replica of masterplan hosted on online platform. Allows real-time updates, aiding project management and collaboration. Digital twin includes urban analyses, design guidelines, virtual walk-throughs, geolocated 3D renderings. First phase covering ~6,000 hectares, District 1. Preliminary site work started, design processes advancing toward construction documentation.

New Tashkent envisioned as major ecosystem for science, technology, innovation.

Focus of key panel discussion at Tashkent International Investment Forum (TIIF) June 12, 2025. Session: ‘Urban Development and Construction: Modernizing Infrastructure for Sustainable and Comfortable Growth.’ Hussam Raouf (BCG Partner/Director) moderated conversation with leaders from Alstom, Zaha Hadid Architects, Cross Works, Synergy Consulting, Anhor Evolution, KOC Construction. Raouf highlighted traditional urban models no longer sufficient. Cities must manage territory and population in smarter, more inclusive ways. Digital technologies: autonomous vehicles, digital twins, smart control centers reshaping how people live, move, work. Planning not just about creating space, but rethinking how cities built to be inclusive, resilient, technologically advanced. Goal: people-centered city supported by smart systems and sustainable practices.

Mexico faces population growth demanding greater investment in quality public infrastructure with budget constraints. Government implementing BIM to optimize resource use and strengthen public project processes. Mandatory BIM implementation will revolutionize construction with efficiency, safety, sustainability. BIM reshaping how structures are conceived, designed, and built with greater productivity, transparency and safety. Industry 4.0 transforming construction through digital twins for predictive maintenance and cost/time savings

Construction sector accounts for approximately 6% of Mexico GDP in 2023. Innovation in new building materials, architectural design, government incentives aligned to transform construction sector. Plan Mexico goal announced January 2025: construct million houses within 6 years. INFONAVIT implementing federal incentives for efficient homes. 469 industrial parks currently, 106 additional expected. Top business opportunities: engineering/design/architectural services, IT tools like BIM, communication platforms, software for construction processes/design/materials management. EDGE certification growing rapidly, less than 10% of new construction meets advanced sustainability criteria

Systematic implementation of BIM methodology at national level involving policies, standards, training, technological adoption. Led by RICI, BIMe Initiative and Dr. Bilal Succar. Latin American advisor Dr. Danny Murguia (Cambridge, Pontifical Catholic University Peru). Coordinators for macro BIM adoption in Mexico: Industry (Dulce Barocio), Government (Osvaldo Mireles), Academia (Elias Tavera). Investigates what 3 levels of government doing to facilitate BIM adoption and accelerate digital transformation. Investigates digital transformation tools, workflows, standards within BIM framework used by construction companies

BIM Network of Latin American Governments brings together 8 countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay) in collaborative effort to accelerate national digital transformation processes targeting BIM implementation in construction sector. Objective: increase construction industry productivity through digital transformation, accelerate national BIM implementation programs through collaborative work favoring common guidelines, commercial exchange and knowledge. Mexico represented by Ministry of Finance and Public Credit. Network has IDB support and co-financing. Outputs include strategies document, dynamic dashboard, technical note on interoperability
