Baku White City is a project to create a cohesive and sustainable urban environment, involving re-development of the eastern part of the capital of Azerbaijan (the so-called Black City, a suburb of Baku where oil industry facilities were concentrated in the late 19^th and early 20^th centuries). The project envisions developing ten urban neighbourhoods with modern infrastructure and parks and landscaping the area.
