The development of the city of Almaty in the direction of "Smart City" is held in accordance with the draft state program "Digital Kazakhstan" and the Almaty city development program. The project implies the introduction of modern technologies in each of the spheres of life of the megalopolis, which will improve the standard of living of citizens, introduce new services and cut costs for the loss of resources in the infrastructure of the housing and utilities sector.

Let's remind that the first system project "Open Almaty" has already started in Almaty. Access to the data necessary for business is opened. The portal of Almaty GenPlan published diagrams of red lines and capacity of engineering networks. The plans of the executive committee on repair of roads, heating networks, yard areas, public spaces are published. The business no longer needs to go to the executive committee to study projects. On the principle of a single window in a comfortable business center in Almaty Towers you can get an advice on the spot or submit an appeal on the site and by phone.
