FUNCIONAL ZONES

Functional zones in a city are the areas where people go to do particular things. There are three main functional areas in a modern city: the CBD (central business district), the industrial zone and the residential zone.

The CBD is often called the city centre. It is usually in the historic centre of a city. It has most of the shops and services, like banks, libraries, and also offices and the town hall. There are also places for entertainment like theatres, cinemas and swimming pools. Land is expensive in the CBD so there are often a lot of tall and modern buildings like skyscrapers. But not in some historic cities that want to look traditional.

The industrial zone is where the factories, warehouses and industries are. Many years ago, these zones were in the centre of cities, but they moved out, probably because of the noise and pollution. This area is usually less attractive than the central areas. These zones usually have good transport links for trains and cars to move people, materials and products to and from the factories.

Residential zones are often on the outside of a city. People, especially families, live where the buildings are newer and the land is cheaper. There are schools and more open spaces like parks, and there is less traffic and pollution than in other zones.

FACT! From 2022, there are 17 regions in Kazakhstan, 3 of them are new: Abai, Jetisu and Ulytau. Cities of Republic significance are Astana, Almaty and Shymkent.
