Islands of Rest in the MetropolisThe city is not just streets, buildings and business centres. It needs spaces where one can pause, breathe out, be close to nature, meet loved ones or simply spend time away from the daily bustle. For Almaty, surrounded by mountains and rich in green areas, such places are especially important. Parks, public gardens, embankments, health trails and other recreational spaces shape the quality of urban life, offer a chance to recover and feel a connection with the city. That is precisely why it matters to preserve, develop and make accessible the places Almaty residents want to return to again and again.Gulsara Kenbaeva#Guide#Cultural Guide
