Keywords:
Cultural heritage, Silk Road, Uzbekistan, architectural legacy, intangible traditions, preservation, modernization, sustainable tourism, national identity, education, globalization, historical continuity.Abstract
Uzbekistan stands as one of the most vibrant cultural crossroads in the heart of Central Asia. For millennia, it has served as a bridge between civilizations, connecting the great empires of the East and West through the arteries of the ancient Silk Road. This article provides a comprehensive exploration of Uzbekistan’s enduring cultural heritage — both tangible and intangible — highlighting the artistic, architectural, and intellectual achievements that have defined its identity. The paper also examines how modern Uzbekistan harmonizes the preservation of its priceless legacy with the challenges of globalization and the demands of a rapidly modernizing society. It argues that Uzbekistan’s rich cultural heritage is not a relic of the past but a living force that continues to shape the nation’s consciousness and its image on the world stage.
