History
Created in the late 1980's, it was the first area in Almaty to be turned into a pedestrian zone. The name is based off from Moscow's Arbat Street. The zone was reconstructed in 2017 which now features fountains and is connected to Panfilov Street Promenade.[2] It is planned to extend the pedestrian area to Seyfullin Prospect in which the construction of it began in 2019.[3]
