Transport Schemes for the Improvement of Seven Streets in Almaty

About the Project

Seven central streets in Almaty — Rozybakiev, Zhandosov, Satpaev, Gogol, Auezov, Radostovets, and Makataev — required a redesign of the street space: improving pedestrian safety and comfort, redistributing traffic flows, and enhancing sustainable mobility. We proposed a comprehensive ‘facade-to-facade’ improvement programme and developed solutions for over 25 km of streets, taking into account local identity and urban structure.

What We Did

  • Conducted a comprehensive analysis of traffic flows, accident rates, and the social, historical, cultural, environmental, and landscape context.

  • Developed transport schemes taking into account the implementation of the Almaty transport framework master plan, increasing street capacity, traffic safety, and the efficient use of street space.

  • Formed systematic design solutions: standard junctions, traffic organisation logic, approaches to the placement of equipment and small architectural forms.

  • Took into account the different status of streets: for key arteries, priority was given to public transport, while for district and local streets, the emphasis was on pedestrian safety and convenience.

  • Based on an analysis of transit flows and functional profiles, we proposed optimising traffic, eliminating bottlenecks and redistributing street space in favour of sustainable mobility.

  • Developed improvement concepts: landscaping, lighting, street furniture, small architectural forms and unique solutions that emphasise the identity of each section.
