Kakha Kaladze presented Tbilisi’s development projects to be implemented in the next four years during the Tbilisi Sakrebulo [City Council] session where the new city government was to be approved.
“For the 3rd time, I have the honour of serving as Mayor, elected by the majority of Tbilisi’s residents. This affirms that the development policy we have been pursuing for years is correct and leaves no alternative. Our victory in the local elections is not just ours, it belongs to you, the people of Tbilisi.
I will never tire of expressing my gratitude for the trust you have placed in me. I pledge to support you and to ensure that every promise made in our election programme becomes a tangible achievement, a step forward for our city”, - said Kakha Kaladze.
He presented the key projects in urban policy. Among them is the continuation of the programme to replace dilapidated apartment buildings, which is expanding annually, “as public trust and participation increase”. A new initiative to replace old houses in historic districts will commence, with full community consent, he said. Efforts to preserve recreational spaces and acquire real estate will persist, and the city’s elevator replacement project will be actively pursued to eliminate all dilapidated elevators within four years.
Kaladze emphasised infrastructure development, mentioning planned renovations of Rustaveli Avenue, Vazha-Pshavela Avenue, and Guramishvili Street. Additionally, streets such as Tamarashvili, Gorgasali, Godziashvili, and Akaki Beliashvili will undergo refurbishment.
“All our efforts are for the people of this city, for their health and well-being. Between 2026 and 2029, two new programmes will be introduced: the Funding for Early-Stage Cancer Diagnostic Research and the Funding for Lung Cancer Screening. Six other vital healthcare programmes will be expanded, and all existing social and healthcare services in district administrations will continue”, - added Kakha Kaladze.
