In the Medeu district of Almaty, a novel approach to creating public spaces is being implemented, where each area is given a unique concept and identity. This was announced by the district's Akim, Yerkebulan Orazalin.

One such project is the renovation of the space near the Palace of Schoolchildren, where the concept will be centered around the theme of space. The area will feature art installations and landscaping elements related to planets. The space is designed primarily for children and families, combining recreational and educational functions.

Additionally, there are plans to enhance the viewing platform on Al-Farabi Avenue, creating a full-fledged public space with greenery, walking paths, and relaxation zones.

Yerkebulan Orazalin emphasized that the new approach eliminates the use of standard urban development elements. Each space is designed considering the purpose of the area, the surrounding landscape, and potential usage scenarios by residents.

Thus, the main goal is not just the physical renewal of areas but also the creation of new attraction points with their own recognizable image.

Furthermore, urban development continues in residential neighborhoods. Under the "People's Participation Budget," 30 projects are being carried out in the district, of which 22 have already been completed. The program includes six courtyard and eight public areas, as well as 16 projects for installing automatic irrigation systems.

The Medeu District of Almaty is planning to switch its automatic irrigation systems for green areas to using river water. This move aims to reduce the consumption of drinking water for irrigation purposes and decrease the burden on the centralized water supply system.

This was announced by Medeu District Mayor Erkebulan Orazalin during a briefing by the Almaty Regional Communications Service. According to him, the new approach is particularly relevant during the summer months when the city's water consumption spikes.

"Utilizing alternative sources will enable the irrigation of public spaces without adding additional stress to the 'Almaty Su' networks and the residential water supply system," states the district mayor.

In addition to the greening projects, a separate engineering infrastructure is being developed in the district to maintain the planted greenery. Erkebulan Orazalin noted that this approach has already been applied this year to sections of 14 streets, covering a total area of about 7.1 hectares. Similar efforts are also underway along the East Regional Highway, where 16 hectares of green zones are planned to be covered.
