Almaty Implements Urban Lighting Master Plan: International Expertise and Modern Technologies

Almaty has unveiled its urban lighting master plan, set to completely transform the city’s appearance by the end of 2025. The project covers all streets, major transport routes, and public spaces, creating a unified system of exterior and architectural lighting that meets international standards of safety, energy efficiency, and visual perception.

The master plan is being developed using best practices from cities such as Moscow, London, Lyon, Seoul, and others. It includes:

• distribution of lighting across streets and public spaces;

• development of architectural and event lighting;

• reduction of light pollution;

• integration of exterior lighting into the “smart city” system;

• enhancing safety at night, especially for women, children, and people with reduced mobility.

According to Almaty Akim Darkhan Satybaldy, the project’s implementation will be under his personal supervision:

“Only by visiting the sites in the evening can one truly understand how lighting works for residents.”

By the end of 2025, all streets in Almaty will be illuminated, improving safety levels and revitalizing evening city life, creating favorable conditions for tourism, small businesses, and cultural events.

Amid large-scale urban transformation and the introduction of modern technologies, INTERLIGHT CENTRAL ASIA 2025 gains special relevance. It is the key industry platform where business representatives, architects, urbanists, and technology suppliers can explore cutting-edge solutions in lighting, energy efficiency, automation, and safety applicable to major urban projects.

INTERLIGHT CENTRAL ASIA 2025 will be the place to understand how to effectively adapt business to the challenges and specifics of Kazakhstani cities during a period of active modernization.
