YEREVAN SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT AND OPPORTUNITY TO
RECONSIDER ITS IMAGE
Head Architect of Yerevan Says
The September 7 sitting of the government confirmed the project of key
measures of 2005-2020 in implementing Yerevan’s general layout. Samvel
Danielian, head architect of Yerevan, said that the project includes
around 90 measures in architecture and town construction, ecology,
transport, public utilities, trade and consumer services, healthcare
and social security, education, culture and sport.
The projects of drawing the layout of Yerevan’s agglomeration, making
the list of endangered monuments and zoning communities of the capital
are very interesting.
The urgent issue of city transport regulation will be easily solved
by restoring bus stations, by trading microbuses for buses and
by constructing roads bypassing those with heavy traffic. Samvel
Danielian said that tender-winning YerevanProject Institute will
carry out monitoring of all these works.
The key measures include drawing up the project of greening Yerevan,
construction of a new underground station, a project of pulling down
wrecked living blocks and re-settling the inhabitants.
Answering a question about Yerevan’s present image and construction
of skyscrapers downtown Yerevan, the chief architect said that he is
pleased with city that we will have in future.
