BACKGROUND AND HISTORY OF THE FOUNDATION OF THE CITY OF ARKALYK

Abstract

This article is devoted to the study of the process of formation of the city of Arkalyk. It is known that the development of local raw materials created the preconditions for the formation of the city of Arkalyk. In the second half of the 20th century. Raw materials were in demand in the national economic complex. The latest achievements of scientific and technical thought were used in the construction of the city's industrial and social infrastructure. In order to supply the Pavlodar aluminum smelter, the construction of the Turgai bauxite mine was carried out. The Pavlodar Aluminum Plant is the first-born of the aluminum industry of the Kazakh SSR. Landscaping and improvement of the city initially took place in an environmentally unfavorable environment.

Arkalyk contributed to the development of the entire Turgai region. The city determined the unprecedented scale of construction of a new industrial hub. The need to build the city of Arkalyk was due to the fact that there was a need for a defense department and industrial development of the steppe region. All this contributed to the fact that the development of production potential determined the high level of population in heavy industry. As a percentage – 75%.

Arkalyk is a city remote from the main centers of urban culture in a specific zone, thereby actualizing the problem of founding a city in difficult natural, climatic and landscape conditions. This explains the artificial nature of the formation of the city of Arkalyk.
