NEW GENERAL PLAN OF BAKU TO BE ELABORATED ON
    BAKU/02.09.10/TURAN: Azerbaijan"s government and the World Bank have agreed initially to work out the Big Baku General Plan. The document will be elaborated on, most probably, by Baku State Projecting Institute. The matter is being considered with a WB expert in Baku. The results of the bidding arranged in July 2009 have been canceled.
     `The plan will be worked out mainly by local experts in cooperation with foreign ones,` a local official said. The elaboration will be completed in late 2011. The WB and Azerbaijan"s government have allotted $5 million for this.
     Big Baku includes the cities of Baku and Sumgayit and the Absheron district, i.e. the entire Absheron peninsula.
     The first General Plan of Baku was prepared in 1896. The latest one was made in 1986. It has not been completed, because the plan made in the Soviet period stipulated its realization for the state budget"s money.
     There are 2.26 million residents in Baku.--08B-
