The article is devoted to the study of the improvement of the Ili Valley region’ medieval cities located on the Great Silk Road. These cities are fairly well known from written sources. Long- term archaeological research has allowed obtaining materials about the structure of these cities – urban planning, layout, features of manor buildings, dwellings. Ways of heating homes and equipping with amenities – water supply and sewage. To comply with hygiene, according to the cult and domes- tic regulations of Islam, separate sanitary-hygienic premises with special equipment were allocated. Public and private baths were built to create a comfortable life for citizens, streets were paved, accompa- nied by pedestrian walkways. Particular attention was paid to the arrangement of intersections – they were equipped with “hanging stones” like on the streets of ancient Pompeii. Keywords: Great Silk Road, Ili Valley, the Middle Ages, landscaping, paved pavements, baths, water supply, sewage. Introduction.
