Kazakhstan's capital plans to introduce a temporary ban on the construction of multi-apartment buildings in outlying districts lacking necessary infrastructure. The restriction may be in effect until 2035, according to infohub.kz.
As stated by Altynbek Akhmetov, head of the Astana Department of Architecture, Urban Planning and Land Relations, at an extraordinary session of the city's maslikhat of the VIII convocation, the relevant norm is proposed for inclusion in the rules for shaping the architectural appearance and urban planning of the city.
According to Akhmetov, the changes were prepared in execution of a protocol instruction from the First Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated November 10, 2025. The official noted that the draft rules have been coordinated with authorized bodies, do not contradict current legislation, and meet the requirements for legal acts.
Adoption of the changes will not require additional financial costs and will not create administrative obstacles for private entrepreneurs, Akhmetov emphasized.
