Aşgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan, is characterized by its white marble buildings and predominantly white vehicles. This color preference stems from former president Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow's influence, associating white with purity and luck. Over time, regulations were established to restrict vehicle colors, leading to a cityscape where only white cars are allowed. The city holds a Guinness World Record for its marble structures, which reflect sunlight during the day and are illuminated at night. While the white color helps reflect heat in the desert climate, the strict regulations on vehicle colors are unique to Aşgabat, creating a futuristic and pristine urban environment.
