In the summer season of 2026, the area covered by floral arrangements in Almaty exceeded 410,000 square meters, marking a 77% increase over last year's figures. The number of annual flowers rose from 2.7 million to 4.3 million, while the number of roses burgeoned from 125,000 to 580,000. This information was reported by LLP "Eco Almaty."

Some of the largest floral zones were established along the Esentai River embankment (20,000 square meters), along Sairan Reservoir (15,000 square meters), and near Halyk Arena (over 7,000 square meters).

A new initiative involved the use of vertical constructs made from live plants in the shapes of an apple, a bear, a snow leopard, and a peacock. These compositions became vibrant focal points in the urban space and received positive feedback from residents. Notably, a 2.5-meter-tall peacock floral composition spanning 30 meters was installed on the Esentai embankment.

When selecting plants, Almaty's climatic conditions, plant durability, and flowering duration were taken into consideration. During the active care period, more than 400 specialists and over 140 pieces of equipment were employed daily.

With the onset of autumn, a scheduled cleanup of seasonal flower plantings is conducted, and preparations for next season's greening of urban areas are underway.

Work is underway in Almaty to install street lighting in the Medeu district. Since the beginning of the year, 43 areas that were previously unlit are now being illuminated.

The project's scope includes the installation of 244 poles and 303 fixtures, with the total length of lines exceeding 8.3 kilometers. As of today, some work is complete, while installation continues in other areas.

The list includes:

• The area along the Teksai River from Kuldzhinskiy to Talgar Trakt;
• Shevchenko Street, 28;
• Montage Street, 36;
• A section of Topolevaya Street from Yesenberlin to Ormanov;
• The staircase at: Sulu Say microdistrict, Medeu Street, 11.

New lighting has also been installed on Kasym Kaysenov Street, where it was absent before. Here, 21 poles, including two double-arm poles, and 23 fixtures have been installed. Additionally, 900 meters of self-supporting insulated cable (SIP) have been laid, and some existing cables have been partially replaced.

These efforts aim to enhance pedestrian and driver safety and provide more comfortable conditions for movement during the evening and night.
