A street with little width.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
In Almaty, 'тар көшелер' are often found in the 'lower' part of the city or in former 'shanghai' districts. They are seen as cozy but problematic for modern traffic. The spiritual capital Turkistan is famous for its historical 'тар көшелер' around the Khoja Ahmed Yasawi mausoleum, designed to keep the city cool in summer. Historically, Kazakhs preferred the 'Кең дала' (Wide Steppe). A 'тар' (narrow) space was often associated with being settled and 'unfree'. In modern Kazakh rap and pop culture, 'тар көше' is a metaphor for the 'hood' or growing up in tough, cramped urban conditions.
