The article deals with the process of forming the modern urban population of Kazakhstan on an autochthonous basis. Conventional stages of development of the phenomenon are designated. In the 1930s and 1970s, as a result of the migration inflow, an ethnically differentiated settlement system developed in the Republic. The majority of the urban population were the Russians, meanwhile the majority of the Kazakhs lived in rural area. In the 1970s and 1980s, the process of urbanization of Kazakhs became more active, losing the foundations of ethnic culture in the Russified city. The formation of Kazakhstan’s statehood actualizes the problem of creating an urban Kazakh nation capable of solving the problems of modernization development. Currently, the urban population majority of the Republic are Kazakhs. It is important that the generation born and socialized in the post-Soviet time gradually enters the socially active age. It is this generation that will form various options for the further development of Kazakhstan’s urban space.
