The newly appointed administration of Ulaanbaatar city has made valuable contributions despite the pandemic crisis.

Construction of schools and kindergartens for children

To create the conditions for schools to have a more positive impact on children, the city authorities focused on increasing the number of schools and kindergartens and bringing them up to standard.

Over the past year, eight new schools and an extension building for one school were commissioned in the capital city. 23 new kindergartens and extension buildings for four kindergartens were also commissioned.

Road construction and ger district redevelopment

Ger district land redevelopment projects can only be implemented if the land and real estate owners, the private sector, and the capital city agree on a tripartite agreement. During the implementation of the project, 2,073 units of land were vacated and 10,740 apartments were commissioned. As for the past year, 174 units of land have been vacated and 453 apartments have been commissioned.
