Abstract

Due to megacities’ rapid growth and modernization, new development opportunities are opening up for small cities near megacities, affecting their planning, architectural, and construction solutions. This often causes contradictions between the interests of developers, the population, and city authorities. Each party has interests that do not coincide with the values and priorities leading to complex situations affecting the city development. This article considers the urban development of Qosshy (Kazakhstan), focusing on the village’s transformation into a city of regional significance. The objective is to evaluate architectural and planning solutions in combination with socioeconomic opportunities for the development of Qosshy as part of the Astana agglomeration, according to the General Development Plan for Qosshy and the Comprehensive Development Plan for the Astana Agglomeration for 2024-2028. The study focuses on the distinctive features of Qosshy’s urban development, considering the influence of geographical, social, economic, political, and regional factors. The research methodology includes an analysis of documentation, literature, and the results of an online survey conducted by the authors. Qosshy’s residential development reflects regional characteristics, emphasizing creating comfortable living conditions while respecting the traditional lifestyle. Its architecture is shaped by elements of its historical development combined with modern and socially driven approaches. The authors propose practical measures aimed at gradually reconciling the interests of all stakeholders, which could effectively contribute to Qosshy’s development. This article will interest researchers and professionals in urban planning and architecture of small cities.
