Smart City model in Turkistan is considered within the framework of this strategy
and is directed toward optimizing the system of state regulation and ensuring the
efficient use of resources.
The mechanisms of state regulation of smart cities based on the principles of
sustainable development are being implemented in Turkistan in line with the
objectives of the “Kazakhstan – 2050” Strategy. The introduction of Smart City
technologies ensures full compliance with state programs aimed at developing urban
infrastructure, ecology, and the social sphere. At the same time, it is of particular
importance to identify in advance the factors influencing external and internal risks
and to optimize them through the introduction of information systems and the
application of modern methods of data collection and analysis.
The development of state regulation and the Smart City model, through the
implementation of strategic plans and state programs, creates opportunities to ensure
ecological, economic, and social sustainability in Turkistan. In parallel, ongoing
governance reforms and projects are aimed at transforming the system of public
services, optimizing resource utilization, and minimizing administrative errors.
Within the framework of the 2023–2029 Digital Transformation Concept, data-
driven governance systems, artificial intelligence elements, IoT devices, and open
data platforms are being introduced in Turkistan. These measures are directed at the
efficient management of urban resources, forecasting external and internal risks, and
improving the quality of administrative decision-making.
Thus, the formation of the Smart City model in Turkistan represents a concrete

manifestation of national digital policy and the implementation of sustainable
development principles at the regional level. The alignment of state regulation
mechanisms with these strategic directions provides the basis for ensuring the city’s
socio-economic, ecological, and technological sustainability.
Theoretical Significance of the Study. The theoretical foundation of the
concept of “smart city” in the context of sustainable development has been
established. In the course of the research, the Smart City concept has been
considered not only as a technological model but also as a complex socio-technical
system aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Its theoretical
content has been re-examined, while institutional, social, economic, and legal
aspects have been systematized and its place in modern urban studies clearly
defined.
Practical Significance of the Study. This research is aimed at conducting a
comprehensive analysis of the theoretical and practical foundations of implementing
the Smart City concept in the context of sustainable development through
mechanisms of state regulation, using Turkistan as a case study. In the conditions of
global urbanization processes, smart cities are regarded not only as systems of digital
technologies but also as complex urban models based on the interconnection of legal,
institutional, and social mechanisms.
In the course of the research, the evolutionary stages of the concept of “smart
city,” international practices, and the situation in Kazakhstan were comparatively
analyzed. On the basis of principles such as multi-level governance, legal regulation,
digital equity, and the development of human capital, an institutional and legal
