The masterplan is based on rigorous research into the current performance of the city, analysis of population and job growth forecasts, and careful identification of future opportunities. It proposes the improvement and intensification of the existing city before growth of the built footprint of Nur-Sultan into the surrounding natural environment. It identifies underused and otherwise ‘opportune’ parts of the city and illustrates how these can be improved and enhanced through a set of Urban Planning and Design Elements. The Nur-Sultan 2030 Masterplan employs a unique Integrated Urban Modelling approach – pioneered by Space Syntax – that connects datasets on land use attraction, transport infrastructure and spatial layout connectivity to provide a data-driven tool for integrated design development, proposal evaluation and decision-taking. It incorporates Space Syntax principles of spatial planning and design to deliver the liveable, sustainable and healthy outcomes of the project brief.
