Originality/value – The author presents the main problems and tendencies of managing the processes of urbanization and innovative development of the urban environment in modern Kazakhstan. Based on the study of the indicators of regions influencing the level of urbanization in the country, the author gives an assessment of the management aspects of urbanization and innovation processes, measures taken by the state for the development of urbanized territories in the country.
Findings – Urbanization and innovation processes are interdependent and open up new opportunities for Kazakhstan to grow and improve the quality of life of the population. At the same time, these same processes entail certain risks and threats, which requires the adoption of effective management decisions based on a scientific vision of the problems.
