Management of urbanization processes in the context of regional development of Kazakhstan

Abstract

Object: The intention of carrying out this study is to learn how the Kazakhstan system of administration takes control of its development process.Methods: In the course of writing the article, various methods were used, which include interviews with experts, politicians and government officials; general scientific research methods; as well as a comparative method that allowed us to see the features of the development of urbanization in Kazakhstan.Findings: Several findings were observed from the study that was conducted. First, Kazakhstan emphasized development in terms of urbanization and the growth of the major cities. While at the jubilee meeting of the international scholarship “Bolashak” in Astana, a city in Kazakhstan, the first President of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev, highlighted the importance of the towns that were densely populated with more than a million people residing in them (Nukusheva et al., 2023). The study also found that about 58.9% of the people who resided in cities and towns in Kazakhstan were tremendously significant compared to the country's population in 2010 (54.5%). Further research showed that the country had become more revolutionized and urbanized in the past decade. Comparing the difference between the last ten years and now, the number of city occupants has outshined the rural set-up by more than 8%.Conclusions: This research shows how much hard work costs for the Kazakhstan government to move its peopleto the cities to get revolutionized. It is recommended that studies to be conducted to fully understand why the disparityin population growth exists between rural and urban areas.
