Astano is a city in the north of Kazakhstan, is the second largest city in the country. It took over the role of capital of Almato (the largest city) in December 1998. Now it is undergoing a transformation costing billions of dollars, with top international architects assisting in trying to make Astana a brave capital - not just from Kazakhstan but from all of Central Asia. Astana presents / displays an interesting and intriguing mixture of old Soviet architecture with the modern designs of Norman Foster and similars. Astana is growing, but still does not offer the comforts and delights of its western counterparts, or Almaty, but has its own charms and pleasures.
