Astana on the International Urban Development Agenda

Recently, Yelnar Bazyken, Head of the Astana Urbanism Center, took part in a meeting at the UN Headquarters dedicated to modern approaches to urban development and regenerative urbanism.

The international platform provided an opportunity to present Astana’s experience. The capital was one of the first cities in Central Asia to receive Resilience Hub status and become an international mentor city.

The discussion focused on new approaches to urban development, including green infrastructure, rain gardens, reducing the urban heat island effect, and more efficient use of urban space.

The Life Cycle Cost approach was also discussed, focusing on assessing the costs of urban infrastructure throughout its entire life cycle, from construction to subsequent operation.

For Astana Expo, it is important to see Kazakh experts represented on international professional platforms. We value our long-standing partnership with the Astana Urbanism Center and are pleased to continue our cooperation through our professional events.
