A comparative analysis of archival sources and scientific literature on the problem of the formation of an artificial ecosystem of the Akmola region in historical retrospection, the authors of which studied several stages of the development of ecosystems, was carried out. The initial stage (the end of the XIX - the beginning of the XX centuries) is connected with the activities of enthusiastic
environmentalists and Akmola merchants, who laid the foundations for the future greening of the region. In the Soviet period of history, the development of the green ecosystem of the city and the region took place against the background of insufficient attention of the authorities to the problems of regional ecology, their complete ignoring. This explains the low efficiency of urban gardening. Since the end of the 20th century, when the capital of Kazakhstan was moved to the region in question, on the initiative of the first President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, N.A. Nazarbayev the successful implementation of the ecological project “Green
Belt of Astana” began. The project was an important step towards solving regional environmental problems.
