Shymkent will become a green city. The action plan for 5 years has been approved for the implementation of the work in this direction. This was announced by the city mayor Murat Aitenov at the reporting meeting in the online format.
Recalling that Shymkent has always been a green city, the Mayor noted that the city with a unique climate and a favorable environment for guests should be turned into a garden city.
"According to our estimates, there are about 6 million green spaces in the city. Last year, we approved the plan for the formation of the "Green Belt" for 2021-2025. According to the plan, we will plant 6.5 million saplings of trees. We'll start this autumn. Wood reserves in the city will be doubled, " said M. Aitenov.
In addition, the city has 9 parks with a total area of 244 hectares, 39 squares and alleys with an area of 37 hectares. The city plans to build a park "Shymkent" on an area of about 40 hectares, as well as four squares.
In addition, 26 air pollution monitoring sensors will be installed in the city. The information of these sensors is transmitted from LED screens, TV channels of the city and through social networks.
The mayor reported that attention is paid to architecture and beauty for comfortable living in the city, adding that last year the facades of 77 high-rise residential buildings were renovated with funds from sponsors.
