“…The regional importance of these cities also deserves attention. With the support of the central authorities, and taking into account the large distances between cities in Kazakhstan, they should act as regional growth poles [28][29][30]. The latter function dates back to the period of industrialization in the former Soviet Union, and, according to some researchers, it is still unfairly downplayed [31].…”

“…Most researchers considering sustainable cities or smart cities focus on the capital cities of Kazakhstan: the current capital, Astana [32,33], and the former capital, Almaty [34]. Works devoted to the study of monocities and sustainable and smart cities emphasize the problems of their development [28], point to their uneven development [35], and emphasize the importance of the urbanization process as an accelerator of inclusive and sustainable development [30].…”

Currently, global urbanization trends offer various development models, but their main goal is to create a comfortable and safe environment for city residents. Most cities in Kazakhstan are small in scale and face several pressing problems, such as limited infrastructure, inadequate public services, economic challenges resulting in unemployment, environmental problems, and housing shortages. In this article, using the examples of the towns of Zhanatas and Karatau, an attempt was made to indicate the threat posed by wind to the sustainable development of monocities in the Zhambyl region. The working hypothesis of our study is that state policy supporting the sustainable development of small towns is insufficient and should be changed. Theoretical, empirical, and cartographic methods were used during the research, depending on the specificity of the analyzed territories. The unique climatic features of the cities of Karatau and Zhanatas, which are located in the study area, were taken into account and unfavorable meteorological phenomena were analyzed. The collected data were used to assess the impact of climatic conditions on the sustainable development of small towns in the study area. The research’s results allow one not only to determine the impact of wind exposure on the sustainable development of small towns in the Zhambyl region, but also constitute a basis for assessing, more generally, the opportunities and threats relevant to small towns.

Government programs strongly emphasized the importance of mostly infrastructure projects however, the aim of the programs was to achieve economy diversity. In addition, there were a single indicators and methodology for all monotowns, which are not suitable for all of them. Government reports regarding the results of implemented projects showed only improvements on the power grid and water supply networks but studies and articles in the media state the low effi ciency and no impact and value for endusers of these programs and projects – local community.
