Almaty is a city with a centuries-old history, an important milestone in which was the Soviet period, when in Almaty (Alma-Ata) was the capital of Kazakhstan. Almaty today continues to be the cultural, political, financial, scientific and industrial center of the country, as well as a major transport hub. In the modern architecture of the city national traditions are less likely to be discerned. The active construction of entertainment centers, golf clubs, office buildings, supermarkets, business centers and modern residential areas with the use of new materials and technologies is gradually renewing the face of the city.

The main cause of air pollution is that Almaty is located at the foot of Zailiyskiy Alatau with heights over 4000 meters in the vicinity of the city, and mountain glaciers. The high altitude, the accumulation of snow and ice, leads to the fact that down through the valleys into the city drains very cold air that creates the city’s temperature inversion.
Another, no less serious cause of air pollution of Almaty specialists associated with reckless construction of high rise buildings that have become a barrier to mountain-valley air circulation.
The dominance of transport is also a significant source of air pollution in Almaty.

City of regional subordination in the Karaganda region of Kazakhstan (until May 1997 in the Dzhezkazgan region). The city is located on the northern coast of Lake Balkhash, at the Bertys Bay, in the southern part of the Central-Kazakh melkosopochnik.
The birth and development of the city was the result of the discovery of rich deposits of copper ore in 1928. ( Перевод: Балхаш - город областного подчинения в Карагандинской областиКазахстана (до мая 1997 года в Джезказганской области). Город расположен на северном побережье озера Балхаш, у бухты Бертыс, в южной части Центрально-Казахстанского мелкосопочника.
Рождение и развитие города стало результатом обнаружения богатых залежей медной руды в 1928 году.
