- Abstract
- For many centuries horse-riding peoples populated the steppes to the north of today's Almaty and the green hills to the south, but the city itself – formerly known as 'Alma-Ata' – is not even 180 years old. The guide presents over 100 buildings spanning Orthodox cathedrals, Soviet Neoclassicism, monumental mosaic art, Brutalism, and contemporary skyscrapers, with critical essays and interviews with local actors.
