Alatau was granted city status in January 2024, built on the former village of Zhetygen. Its concept and master plan were developed by the Singaporean firm Surbana Jurong. The city runs along the Almaty–Konaev highway on the Western Europe – Western China corridor and lies entirely within the Alatau special economic zone. The first phase of key facilities is due by 2030, with full delivery by 2050.

The master plan splits the city into four themed districts, each with its own specialisation.
