one way to make a city better would be to sort out crap weather....
In December 2006, Kazakh President unveiled plans to build , a "giant, transparent tent", over an area of the city. The tent will be 150 metres high, and was designed by Norman Foster. It is expected to take around a year to build.
Astana is also a 'new city' in a kind of weird way. Only half is new build, they want to be a freight-city rather than eco-city and they want to be like berlin rather than canberra (the really strange bit canberra is an excellently planned city).
