Additionally, an analysis of the urban carrying capacity of the city of Shymkent is important because the city is among the leaders in terms of the number of industrial productions in Kazakhstan. Together with a million inhabitants and a large number of vehicles in the city, the issue of urban carrying capacity is quite acute. The authors of the research focus on architectural and urban planning decisions without considering socio-economic factors, as the study of this issue will be done in further research with relevant specialists.
