As part of the nationwide environmental campaign "Clean Kazakhstan," a tree planting event was held in Karaganda's Ecological Park to create the "Energy Workers' Alley." This initiative was led by the regional branch of the State Energy Supervision and Control Committee of the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan for Karaganda Region.

Over 200 tree saplings were planted in the area designated for the alley. The ecological event saw participation from the leadership of the Karaganda Region, heads and staff of the department, representatives from regional energy companies such as LLP "KREC," "Karaganda Zharyk," "Teplotransit Karaganda," "Karaganda Energy Center," "Ergonomics," JSC "KEGOC," and "QAZAQGAZ AIMAQ," as well as veterans of the energy sector.

The tree planting served as a collaborative contribution from the region's energy workers towards greening the city, enhancing public spaces, and preserving the environment.

The new alley will become part of the green space within the Ecological Park and a symbol of unity among Karaganda's energy sector workers. It will serve as a reminder of the continuity between generations and the contributions of energy industry representatives to the development of the region.

Plans to continue implementing environmental initiatives and improvement projects are underway for other regions across the country. Reported by Housing and Public Utilities 24, citing the Ministry of Energy's website.

During an extraordinary session of the Almaty city council, Deputy Mayor Beibut Shakhanov outlined the key features of the revised General Plan up to 2040, which received a positive review from the comprehensive urban planning assessment.

He emphasized that collaboration with city residents was an essential part of the General Plan revision process. According to Beibut Shakhanov, suggestions and requests gathered from public discussions were analyzed and incorporated into the project decisions wherever feasible, considering legal and urban planning constraints. Special attention was also given to the strategic environmental assessment and ongoing public oversight of the General Plan's implementation.

"The further implementation of the General Plan holds particular significance. Approving the document forms the foundation for the city's future development, but the key phase will be the consistent execution of the solutions outlined within it. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure the continuous monitoring of the General Plan's implementation, adherence to construction parameters, timely development of social and engineering infrastructure, and preservation of green and natural spaces. Constant feedback with residents and informing them about the execution of major projects will remain an important component. This approach will enhance the transparency of urban planning decisions and allow timely adjustment to demographic, transport, environmental, and social changes," emphasized Beibut Shakhanov.

According to him, the updated document is based on current data and aims for balanced city development, taking into account environmental, seismic, transport, social, and infrastructure constraints.

"The city faces the challenge of preserving Almaty's natural potential, ensuring a comfortable urban environment, enhancing transport connectivity, creating necessary conditions for population growth, while simultaneously preserving the city's historical identity," added the Deputy Mayor of Almaty.
