Nur-Sultan, the capital of Kazakhstan, is set to grow significantly in the coming years, with its population projected to reach 2.3 million by 2035. This rapid growth has sparked discussions on infrastructure development and the role of technology in shaping the city's future. A recent roundtable discussion, titled 'Writer and Society', brought together local intelligentsia to explore these themes and more.
The event, held at the Moscow House of Friendship, was moderated by Bauyrzhan Babajanuly, the chairman of the Nur-Sultan branch of the Union of Writers of Kazakhstan. Esed Baiken, deputy akim of Nur-Sultan, addressed the participants, emphasizing the crucial role of the intelligentsia in society. The discussion centered around the President's Address 'Kazakhstan in the Era of Artificial Intelligence' and its implications for literature and society.
Participants explored ways to combine the tasks outlined in the President's Address with the preservation of literary heritage and the support of innovation.

With the city's population expected to reach 2.3 million by 2035, these conversations are crucial for sustainable development.
