About Nur-Sultan
Nur-Sultan (renamed from Astana) remains one of the world's youngest capitals, built from steppe grassland since 1997 on President Nursultan Nazarbayev's vision. The Bayterek Tower dominates the skyline; government buildings cluster in planned districts. The city's futuristic architecture contrasts sharply with the endless steppe around it.
