During the meeting, the development prospects of Almaty were presented, including the landmark project “Eastern Gate,” which reflects the polycentric nature of the city and is aimed at creating a modern multifunctional cluster. Representatives of the Akimat also confirmed their readiness for further cooperation with companies implementing projects of strategic importance for the sustainable development of the city.

In the course of the discussion, Zh. Mominbayev emphasized the importance of implementing investment and industrial projects in compliance with environmental and construction standards. As one of the possible approaches to preserving the natural landscape and visual harmony, he proposed considering the concept of experimental decorative restoration of mountain cliffs damaged during the construction of the dam in the Ayusai tract, using solar panels. This project was proposed to be considered as a potentially unique advanced practice.

Zh. Mominbayev’s participation in the meeting confirms the business community’s commitment to the principles of sustainable development, responsible implementation of modern technologies, and an active contribution to the formation of an environmentally oriented economy of Almaty.
