The map
Do’stlik Shahri lies in the Jizzakh Region of Uzbekistan, on the edge of the Mirzachul, the old Hungry Steppe. Large irrigation projects turned this dry plain into farmland in the twentieth century. As a result, the whole landscape follows a geometric plan. Canals and field boundaries run in long straight lines, and the town fits into that grid with the same order.
The town's street plan is typical of late Soviet planning. It has wide avenues, rectangular blocks, apartment buildings set in open courtyards, and public spaces placed on axis. The railway line forms a clear edge, and the border with Kazakhstan is not far to the north. Around the urban area, a patchwork of rectangular fields and irrigation ditches reaches to the horizon.
A Do’stlik Shahri map poster suits people who appreciate order and proportion. With no hills or twisting rivers, the entire print is built from straight lines and right angles. It is almost architectural, like a drawing of how a planned landscape was imagined and then made real.
Canals and field edges divide the surrounding steppe into long rectangles. That regular pattern extends well beyond the town in every direction.
Wide straight avenues and large residential blocks show the town's origins as a planned settlement, unlike the organic lanes of older Uzbek towns.
The railway line runs along the town and sets a firm boundary. Station sidings add a few parallel strokes to the composition.
