Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze emphasized the city's commitment to sustainable infrastructure and urban development, noting that the municipality is backed by a strong team and the central government.
He highlighted that since 2017, all road projects in Tbilisi have started with the renovation of underground infrastructure such as drainage and utility systems, many of which were outdated and in poor condition. “We first renovate underground communications and only then build roads, so these projects can last for decades,” Kaladze explained.
Key municipal efforts include the construction and rehabilitation of bridges and overpasses, drainage systems, sewage networks, retaining walls, and slope reinforcement.
The mayor also addressed urban renewal efforts, including programs to strengthen or replace thousands of aging residential buildings, support homeowners’ associations, and improve living conditions through repairs to elevators, roofs, and communal spaces.
Preserving cultural heritage remains a priority. Kaladze pointed to the successful restoration of Orbeliani and Gudiashvili squares as examples of revitalizing historic areas for both residents and tourists.
Cleanliness is another central focus. “Cleanliness in the city is fundamentally important,” Kaladze said, crediting Tbilservis Group for its role. “We are gradually upgrading equipment and doing everything we can to make Tbilisi as clean and orderly as possible. There are still challenges, but we are working hard to overcome them.”
