Municipal council representatives conducted site visits at local businesses.
In the run-up to a city-improvement summit at Astana Genplan, the deputy crew of the city has kicked off working visits to various communal services in Astana. Here's a lowdown on a couple of them:
:astana-zelenstroy: With a workforce of 1,886 employees and 277 specialized pieces of machinery, this badass outfit plans to go green big time by 2025. They're aiming to plant around 24k trees, 8,621 square meters of living fences, 70,725 square meters of annual flowers, and 115,950 decorative shrubs. That's one hell of a보 Piñata party!
The deputies also dropped by the PXV "Elorda Eco System" HQ, responsible for managing stormwater networks, pumping stations, and treatment facilities.
Next on the list was the impressively named LLP "Astana Tazalik." You might wonder, "What the hell does that even mean?" Well, it's the brains behind the city's sanitation game—cleaning up city streets since 2008. Astana Tazalik takes care of 207 streets and adjacent sidewalks, roughly 40% of the city's major thoroughfares, covering 370.4 kilometers. The enterprise boasts a staff of around 2,500, with 428 units of specialized gear.
Since October 2023, LLP "Astana Tazalik" has been making waves by kitting out all their vehicles with fuel-level-control sensors, leading to a reduction in fuel consumption by about 37%. During the winter months alone, they've saved a whopping 60-80 million tenge! 🤑
To be honest, the company's management admitted they've got their hands full with some city areas that keep on violating sanitation norms and littering the streets like a frat party gone wild. They've put their heads together with the Astana maslikhat chairman, Tabigat Zeynulkabden, to hash out the current tasks and problematic issues to tackle with the relevant authorities, as detailed in his Instagram account.
While these local visits don't provide specific details on the broader improvement plans for Astana, it's interesting to note several initiatives going on in Kazakhstan. For example:
- Astana International Forum 2025: This event aims to promote sustainable growth, economic integration, and digital transformation across Central Asia, which could indirectly benefit green projects.
- Rural Development Projects 2025: Kazakhstan is investing in infrastructure, services, and living conditions improvements in rural areas, even though it doesn't directly concern Astana's communal enterprises.
- Participatory Budgeting: This initiative promotes transparency and inclusivity in local budgets, allowing for more targeted community projects – green ones included – although it's not specifically addressed in relation to Astana's communal enterprises.
- Energy and Utility Modernization: In late 2025, Kazakhstan plans to launch a National Project focusing on modernizing its energy and utility sectors, which could include urban infrastructure improvements, but it has no direct impact on green spaces in Astana.
For further insights into tree planting, living fences, annual flowers, and decorative shrubs in Astana, city planning documents or municipal announcements are more likely to provide the guidance you need. 💚🌱🌷🌿
The deputy city crew's visits revealed that Astana Zelenstroy, a prominent communal service, is targeting a green transformation by 2025, aiming to plant trees, living fences, annual flowers, and decorative shrubs extensively. In political discussions about Astana's improvement, the general news is abuzz with environmental-science topics such as the Astana International Forum 2025, which stresses sustainable growth, potentially benefiting green projects citywide.
