"In general, I want to focus on the prospects for the development of the capital, taking into account population growth. Now more than 1 million 200 thousand people live in the capital. The annual increase is 50-60 thousand people, taking into account internal migration. If this dynamics continues, then by 2035 the population in the capital will double," the akim said.
