Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the ecological and social effects of mixed-use development in the context of Almaty. It examines the advantages and challenges associated with integrating residential, commercial, and public functions within a single urban space. Special attention is paid to the impact of mixed-use development on ecological sustainability, the reduction of traffic load, the creation of a comfortable urban environment, and the enhancement of social activity among residents. The article also presents directions for sustainable development in Almaty, including the implementation of “green” design standards, optimization of urban space utilization, and improvement of urban infrastructure quality. The findings can be used in the development of strategies for metropolitan growth and the formation of modern architectural and urban planning policies
