In the context of intensive urbanization and the large-scale development of transport infrastructurein the Republic of Uzbekistan, the issue of urban planning for transport hubs (THs) located in close proximityto tuberculosis care facilities is becoming increasingly relevant. The construction of new metro lines, BRTsystems, and multimodal transport hubs in Tashkent and regional centers significantly increases passengerflows and may contribute to epidemiological risks associated with the aerosol transmission of tuberculosis.The aim of this study is to develop scientifically grounded urban planning principles, models, andrecommendations for the placement and integration of transport hubs with tuberculosis care facilities whileensuring a balance between transport accessibility, infection safety, and sustainable urban development.The research methodology includes GIS modeling, comparative analysis, calculation of risk zones, fieldsurveys of facilities in Tashkent and other regions of Uzbekistan, as well as an assessment of the currentregulatory framework.The study identified notable epidemiological risks associated with the unregulated proximity of transporthubs to tuberculosis hospitals and dispensaries. The authors proposed three practical models of spatialorganization (“isolation,” “buffer,” and “integrated with enhanced biosafety”), together with recommendationsregarding sanitary protection zone dimensions, functional zoning, architectural and planning solutions, andengineering infrastructure.The practical significance of the research lies in the possibility of applying the obtained results to theadjustment of the Tashkent General Plan through 2045, the design of new transport hubs, and the improvementof sanitary-epidemiological standards and urban planning regulations.The proposed solutions are aimed at simultaneously improving access to medical services for patients, reducingthe risks of intracity tuberculosis transmission, and increasing the efficiency of investments in transport and healthcareinfrastructure.
