Целью исследования является разработка и обоснование гендерноинклюзивной модели устойчивого экономического развития городов Казахстана, учитывающей экономические, социальные и экологические факторы в рамках «зеленого» перехода. Методологической основой исследования послужили междисциплинарный и многоуровневый подходы, включающие формирование системы из 35 количественных индикаторов, композитное индексирование, пространственно дифференцированный анализ, а также элементы институционального и прогнозного анализа. Эмпирическая база включает официальные статистические данные, материалы национальных и региональных программ развития, а также результаты специализированных аналитических и социологических исследований с обязательной гендерной дезагрегацией показателей занятости и социальной инфраструктуры. Полученные результаты показывают, что внедрение предложенной модели позволяет к 2030 г. снизить углеродоемкость городской экономики на 25-30% при сохранении темпов экономического роста, а также сократить гендерные разрывы в доступе к занятости, инфраструктуре и механизмам принятия решений. Разработанная модель может быть использована как практический инструмент стратегического управления устойчивым, низкоуглеродным и инклюзивным развитием городов Казахстана и других трансформирующихся экономик. Разработанная модель представляет собой практический инструмент стратегического управления устойчивым, низкоуглеродным и инклюзивным развитием городов Казахстана и других трансформирующихся экономик.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>In the context of accelerated urbanization and the transition to a low-carbon economy, the integration of the gender dimension into models of sustainable development of urban ecosystems is particularly important. The purpose of this study is to develop and substantiate a gender-inclusive model for sustainable economic development in cities in Kazakhstan, considering economic, social, and environmental factors in the framework of a “green” transition. The methodological basis for this study was an interdisciplinary and multi-level approach, including the creation of a system of 35 quantitative indicators, compositional indexing, spatially differentiated analysis, and elements of institutional and predictive analysis. The empirical base includes official statistical data, materials from national and regional development programs, as well as the results of specialized analytical and sociological studies, with mandatory gender disaggregation of employment and social infrastructure indicators. The results show that the implementation of the proposed model makes it possible to reduce the carbon intensity of the urban economy by 25-30% by 2030, while maintaining economic growth rates, and reduce gender gaps in access to employment, infrastructure, and decision-making mechanisms. The developed model can be used as a practical tool for strategic management of sustainable, low-carbon, and inclusive development of cities in Kazakhstan and other transforming economies. </p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>гендер</kwd><kwd>гендерное равенство</kwd><kwd>социальная интеграция</kwd><kwd>социальная инфраструктура</kwd><kwd>устойчивое развитие</kwd><kwd>низкоуглеродная экономика</kwd><kwd>городская политика</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Gender</kwd><kwd>Gender Equality</kwd><kwd>Social Inclusion</kwd><kwd>Social Infrastructure</kwd><kwd>Sustainable Development</kwd><kwd>Low Carbon Economy</kwd><kwd>Urban Policy</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Akbar, I., Sergeyeva, A., Nurgaliyeva, G., Toktaganova, G., Baiburiev, R., Ismailova, M., &amp; Li, Y.
