The experience of the Astana Center for Urbanism will be scaled up across all regions of the country. This is one of the instructions given by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev as part of the Taza Qazaqstan environmental campaign. Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov held a meeting on their implementation. According to the Ministry of Industry and Construction, urban planning organizations have already been established and are operating in all regions. Local authorities have approved roadmaps for 2026–2027, outlining modern approaches to the development of urban spaces. In addition, the new Construction Code establishes design codes as a mandatory tool for developing the architectural appearance of populated areas. Particular attention is also being paid to road quality. A unified database of materials used in the road sector has been created, approaches to the use of bitumen have been revised, and a five-stage quality control system for construction has been introduced. Another instruction from the Head of State concerns the development of environmental culture. By the end of the year, schools are expected to adopt a unified standard for environmental education. It will be implemented through the Jasyl Mektep model, which is already being tested in 85 schools.
