Kakha Kaladze pledged to fully rehabilitate Dighomi Forest-Park, calling it vital for the city’s future.
“Part of the territory was privatized by previous governments, but we have already bought some back. Our goal is full acquisition and rehabilitation so that this area can return to the city,” Kaladze said at a presentation of environmental projects.
Deputy Mayor Andria Basilaia pointed out broader environmental priorities, noting that renovated parks are already full of residents. Over the next four years, the city plans to rehabilitate or create 200 hectares of recreational spaces and plant up to 350,000 trees.
One of the largest initiatives is relocating the Tbilisi Zoo to a 50-hectare site near the Tbilisi Sea while the old zoo area will become a recreational park linked to Mziuri. Other projects include the rehabilitation of the First Republic Garden, Rike Park, Avchala Park, Mushtaid Garden and the continuation of works at Khudadovi and Dighomi forest-parks.
“These projects will ensure Tbilisi becomes a greener, healthier city,” Basilaia said.
