According to the President, the city would have already been built if it was not for the crisis.

"Under the roof people will live in winter and summer not in frost or heat, but in good conditions. Imagine a circle with a diameter of 200 meters, and a square inside it, where all necessary will be: schools, hospitals, theaters, shops, hairdressers, restaurants, cafes. Here, you can only move through the channels, no vehicles. Houses and cottages will be all over there. People, especially children, will not get dressed in warm clothes even when it's minus 30 degrees," the President said.

According to the President, this circle will be completed with new circles, so a 10-15 thousand population city can be built.

"You may have noticed when I say something, and then it is done. I have been working over it for a long time, and if there was no crisis, we would have already built the city. But, by the way, this idea was realized for "Khan Shatyr" mall. It was the first step," Nursultan Nazarbayev resumed.
