7 Economic outlook:

8 Interesting places Во второй половине XIX века, когда был основан Верный (ставший впоследствии Алматы), в нескольких километрах от города, между горных склонов был построен аул. Основателем этого поселения стал уважаемый в городе предприниматель Медеу Пусурманов. Когда он умер, ущелье, в котором находился построенный им аул, получило его имя. Спустя некоторое время в ущелье был построен санаторий, а в 1972 году здесь был открыт спорткомплекс «Медео», заслуживший мировое признание. Выше по ущелью находится селезащитная плотина и горнолыжная база «Чимбулак», так же популярная среди жителей Алматы. Кстати, на плотину ведет лестница, состоящая из 842 ступеней, и на ней часто проводят соревнования по скоростному восхождению. Возвышающийся над молодой столицей монумент «Астана-Байтерек», поистине стал архитектурным символом Астаны, символом Казахстана. Более того, если в символическом смысле Байтерек – центр мира, то в географическом, он – точный центр Евразии. В 2002 году международное жюри присудило Гран-при монументу «Астана- Байтерек» как лучшему проекту и постройке года среди стран СНГ.
