The population of Kosshy is projected to reach 150,000
residents by 2038. Kazakh Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov was presented with a
master plan for the development of the city, located near the capital. This
plan includes territorial expansion, infrastructure upgrades, and the
construction of new social facilities. By 2038, around 50 new kindergartens,
schools, hospitals, and clinics are expected to be built. The plan also
includes the construction of a new boiler house, an electrical substation,
power lines, and water supply and sewage treatment facilities. A new road to
Astana is also planned. To foster industrial growth and create new jobs, a
264-hectare industrial zone is set to open in the city’s northwest. Kosshy also
plans to enhance public squares, open an amusement and recreation park, and
build a stadium, an ice palace, a theatre, and a wedding palace.
«The new master plan outlines territorial expansion, new
planning solutions, functional zoning, and specific measures for engineering
and transport infrastructure. In terms of figures, it allocates more than 900
hectares for individual housing construction and around 360 hectares for
multi-apartment residential buildings. The plan also includes innovative
solutions for heating, water supply, and sewage treatment facilities,» said
Azamat Kapyshev, Mayor of Kosshy.
