The socioeconomic development of Shymkent is directly linked to the comfort and amenities of the residential areas where the majority of the population resides. Creating a high-quality environment for living, recreation, and raising children is a key focus of city policy. Therefore, improvement work in the Badam residential area, which began in early 2025, is currently actively ongoing.

On November 1, 2025, District Akim D. Yesilbek, along with City Maslikhat Deputy B. Ashirbaev and the microdistrict elder B. Asanbekov, conducted a mobile inspection of the Badam area. During the inspection, they reviewed the progress of construction work completed this year and discussed future infrastructure development plans. The authorities listened attentively to residents' concerns, reviewed proposed initiatives, and took the most pressing issues under review.

Construction of a new children's playground and public space is currently underway at the end of K. Tursynbayuly Street, along the Badam River. The project aims not only to create a children's play area but also to create a modern and comfortable recreation area for all residents of the area—from teenagers to retirees.

The playground's play elements are selected based on the children's age and meet safety requirements. Furthermore, exercise equipment and horizontal bars are planned, allowing young people to regularly engage in physical activity and improve their health in the fresh air. This will help promote a healthy lifestyle among residents.

The improvement of the area also includes landscaping: the construction of walking paths, the installation of benches and trash cans, the installation of modern lighting, and the creation of green areas with trees and shrubs. Thanks to this, the Badam River bank will become a favorite spot for walks, family recreation, and evening gatherings.

The district akim noted that Badam needs additional social facilities, as the neighborhood's population grows annually. Therefore, projects for new healthcare, educational, and cultural institutions are being developed. The implementation of such facilities will not only improve comfort but also positively impact the district's overall social infrastructure.

Environmental and safety considerations are also being given careful consideration during the improvement project. Special waste collection containers will be installed along the river, and the sanitary conditions of the recreation area will be constantly monitored by municipal services. Thus, the project will help raise environmental awareness among the population and foster a responsible attitude toward the environment.

City Council Deputy B. Ashirbaev emphasized Badam's high potential for development. He stated that, thanks to current and future projects, the residential area could become one of Shymkent's most comfortable and well-appointed areas in the coming years. However, to achieve these goals, high-quality and timely completion of all construction work is essential.

Microdistrict elder B. Asanbekov, in turn, emphasized the importance of local residents' participation in maintaining cleanliness and preserving public infrastructure. He proposed more active organization of joint cleanup days and greening events, and urged residents to take good care of the renovated facilities.

During the meeting, residents also raised issues related to road quality, street lighting, and uninterrupted water supply. District administration representatives explained that these areas are also included in the development plan, and additional technical surveys will be conducted soon, after which the relevant work will begin.

All current initiatives to improve Badam are fully consistent with state policy aimed at improving the quality of life for citizens. Cooperation between government agencies and the public plays a vital role in this process. It is this combined effort that facilitates the effective implementation of social projects.

In summary, the improvement work in the Badam residential area is not a temporary measure, but rather part of a systematic, long-term urban development program. Residents will experience significant changes in the coming years: new recreation areas will appear, roads and utility infrastructure will improve, and safety and comfort levels will increase.

Thus, Badam is gradually transforming into a modern, environmentally sustainable, and comfortable neighborhood where people want to live, work, and raise children. And the ongoing improvement projects will be continued until the goals are fully achieved.
