Garden City is the concept for the development of new residential districts on the periphery of Astana. The design area is included in the development concept of the southeastern part of the city, which is closely linked to the formation of an international hub near the airport.
We prioritize responsible development by incorporating principles of integration with nature, sustainable mobility, and continuance of security and connectivity.
Our proposal focuses on utilizing various housing typologies, maintaining multifunctionality, building hierarchy, and creating an efficient public space system.
The design area is filled with life. The development of the district is based on modern principles of comfortable city formation. All categories of residents have convenient access to other parts of the city. The bicycle is considered a full-fledged mode of transport. Bike routes of different levels are provided for it. The combination of different functions within the boundaries of one district makes it attractive to residents and resilient to future changes in the social structure of the district.
