The election program of the head of state K.Tokayev instructed to demolish and replace 1,500 dilapidated residential buildings by 2029 and to transfer them to the owners of new apartments. In this regard, a program of renovation of the housing stock of Shymkent has been introduced.

Renovation is a program for the construction of dilapidated housing, instead of a new one. There are more than 2,000 apartment buildings in Shymkent, of which more than 70% are residential buildings that have existed since Soviet times. There are 107 residential buildings in the city, of which 13 are located in the Abai district, 44 in the Al-Farabi district, 7 in the Enbekshi district and 43 in the Turan district. Before demolishing a house, the consent of the tenants must be taken. The housing will be demolished only after obtaining the full consent of the residents.

Currently, a program of renovation of dilapidated houses has been launched under the leadership of the Akimat of Shymkent city. As part of this program, it is planned to build a 36-storey modern residential building with 7 floors instead of an 8-apartment two-storey old apartment building at 72A Bezdeleva Street in the Enbekshi district. On August 10, in connection with the demolition of the old house, a resettlement ceremony was held for about 50 residents. It is worth noting that this project is carried out under the auspices of the Shymkent SEC and is fully funded by the investor.
