The beauty and comfort of any city begin with its streets. Cleanliness, green spaces, and a comfortable urban environment directly impact the mood of residents and visitors. That's why Shymkent is systematically implementing improvements and landscaping. The Comfortable Environment Development Department plays a key role in this process, implementing large-scale projects to create modern and green public spaces.
Landscaping work has begun today in the Shymcity microdistrict on three streets, covering a total area of 70,000 square meters . This is one of the largest projects of the year, covering key areas where large numbers of people move daily.
The improvement project is being implemented in stages. At the initial stage, specialists carried out preparatory engineering work: they studied the soil composition and applied fertilizers and organic materials to improve its fertility. All of this is necessary to ensure that the plants take root well and thrive.
The next step was tree planting. Tree species adapted to the local climate were selected: elm, maple, and birch. Ornamental conifers—juniper, spruce, and pine—were also used. They not only beautify the streets but also add variety to the greenery.
Particular attention has been paid to the creation of flower beds and the laying of lawns. To ensure green spaces don't suffer from heat and drought, an automatic irrigation system has been installed on each street. This will ensure timely watering of plants and maintain their healthy appearance.
Street greening plays an important role not only from an aesthetic perspective but also from an environmental perspective. According to experts, a single tree can absorb up to 100 kilograms of carbon dioxide per year. Therefore, the more trees planted, the cleaner the air in the city will be.
On hot summer days, the shade of trees will be a real salvation for city residents. Benches installed along green areas will become comfortable resting spots. Flower beds and neatly trimmed lawns will provide aesthetic pleasure, and the street atmosphere will become more comfortable and friendly.
Thus, the work carried out by the Department for the Development of a Comfortable Environment is aimed at improving the quality of life of Shymkent residents.
To ensure high-quality landscaping, public monitoring of the work has been established. Special task forces are checking that trees are planted correctly, that technology is being followed, and that all technical requirements are being met.
Local residents are also actively expressing their opinions. For example, Gulmira, a resident of the Shymcity microdistrict, shared her impressions:
"It used to be a dreary place to walk on these streets—no shade, no greenery. Now that they've started planting trees, it's clear they'll soon be beautiful and comfortable. I'm especially pleased that children will have somewhere to play outdoors. I hope this kind of work continues ," she said.
Several contractors are involved in the project. Each company is responsible for a specific section of the street. All work is financed from the city budget. Management representatives emphasize that spending is strictly monitored, and transparency is a key principle.
Workers begin their day early in the morning and work until late in the evening. The design and estimate documentation includes not only landscaping but also the installation of lighting, benches, trash cans, and other amenities. The main work is scheduled for completion by the end of this year.
Shymkent is one of the largest cities in Kazakhstan, and its population is growing annually. Therefore, creating a comfortable and environmentally friendly urban environment is particularly important. Residents need not only roads and buildings, but also clean, green streets where they can enjoy spending time.
The Comfortable Environment Development Department's immediate plans include expanding similar projects to other neighborhoods. Particular attention will be paid to areas near schools, kindergartens, and residential complexes. This will help foster a love of cleanliness and nature in the younger generation from an early age.
Street improvement is more than just planting trees or laying lawns. It's a comprehensive effort aimed at improving the quality of life for city residents and creating an environmentally friendly and modern urban environment.
An example of this approach is the project in the Shymcity microdistrict, where three streets are being landscaped over an area of 70,000 square meters. The Department for the Development of a Comfortable Environment is consistently implementing programs to transform Shymkent into one of the greenest and most comfortable cities in the country.
Residents eagerly await the completion of the work and believe that the new green spaces will become a symbol of a renewed city in which people want to live, work, and relax.
