In Almaty, the birthplace of the famous Apple variety "Almaty Aport", more than eight thousand hectares of urban territory are occupied by gardens and parks, squares and boulevards.
Already in the vicinity of Almaty begins Ile-Alatau national Park, on the territory of which the reserve and nature reserves are organized.
In 1997, by decree of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev, the capital of the country was moved from Almaty to Astana. The following year, on July 1, 1998, the Law on the special status of the city of Almaty was adopted. The city is the most important transport hub of Kazakhstan, where food, light and heavy industry enterprises operate. A special status is given to the city by the fact that the head offices of the largest banks in Kazakhstan and branches of transnational financial institutions and companies are located in Almaty.
