Many of the recreational parks in Baku's downtown streets and squares have undergone major repairs and made available for the enjoyment of the capital's residents. At the same time, the facades of old historical buildings on downtown streets and avenues have been repaired and refurbished. Special attention has been given to preserving and refurbishing old architectural ornaments during the repairs. A great deal of progress has been made in this direction. There has been ongoing progress towards the rehabilitation and improvement of existing parks and construction of new parks in the Balaken and Gusar regions.
