A delegation from Kyzylorda took part in the 13th session of the World Urban Forum, held in the city of Baku, Republic of Azerbaijan. This international platform was organized with the support of UN-Habitat and dedicated to discussing issues of urbanization, urban planning, climate resilience, and modern infrastructure.
The forum brought together over 20,000 delegates from more than 100 countries worldwide. Among them were heads of state and government, representatives of international organizations, and experts and specialists in the field of urban studies.
The delegation from Kazakhstan also included representatives of the Kyzylorda region. They exchanged experiences in the direction of sustainable development of the region, updating urban infrastructure, and environmental initiatives.
At the forum, Prime Minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan Olzhas Bektenov focused on the key priorities of urban development policy outlined by the Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev. In particular, issues of forming a comfortable and safe environment for citizens, implementing digitalization and artificial intelligence technologies, water security, and climate resilience were widely discussed.
Concurrently, the Urban Expo exhibition was held, where the national pavilion of Kazakhstan was presented to the participants. The exposition demonstrates the country's modern approach to developing sustainable, comfortable, and environmentally friendly cities through the renewal of public spaces, infrastructure solutions, and new urban construction projects. Special attention is paid to the Green ID project, which is an initiative aimed at greening, enhancing climate resilience, and improving the quality of the urban environment.
It is worth noting that last year, the National Urban Forum was organized for the first time in the city of Kyzylorda, bringing together representatives of government bodies, international organizations, experts, and businesses. The event allowed for the discussion of current issues of sustainable urban development in the region, the formation of modern infrastructure, and urban studies.
