ASTANA, Kazakhstan, December 24. President of
Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev instructed the akim (chief
authority) of Astana to complete the implementation of the Smart
City project in the shortest possible time, Trend reports via the
presidential press service.
“Earlier, at my instruction, the Smart City project was launched
in Astana. Soon, the Operational Management Center will begin work,
coordinating the city’s installed cameras and the activities of
various services. This system will allow for rapid response to
threats and the prevention of incidents,” Tokayev said.
He noted that a Data Processing Center is being built to ensure
the platform’s functionality. The digital infrastructure will also
be used by law enforcement to maintain public safety, ensuring that
the principle of ‘law and order’ works in practice.
“Similar platforms should be implemented in all cities across
the country. The Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital
Development is responsible for coordinating this initiative,”
Tokayev added.
The president also highlighted the importance of learning from
Japan’s experience, particularly the Smart City project in Tokyo,
in applying advanced solutions to public administration.
The Smart City initiative is aimed at improving the efficiency
of urban resource management and public services, as well as
enhancing infrastructure through the implementation of innovative
solutions, with the goal of creating comfortable living conditions
for residents.
