YEREVAN, APRIL 15, NOYAN TAPAN. The zoning project of Yerevan’s
Shengavit community will be developed this year. The chief architect
of Yerevan Samvel Danielian said at the April 14 press conference that
private industrial facilities occupy considerable part of the 4,060-ha
area of Shengavit community. An attempt will be made to involve the
owners of these facilities in the urban development programs to be
implemented in the community.
According to S. Danielian, this year zoning projects will also be
developed for a 1,770-ha area in Avan community, the 264-ha Sari-Yagh
district and adjacent areas in Erebuni community, and a 1,363-ha area
in Malatia-Sebastia community. No urban development programs have been
implemented in these areas so far. Some sections of Malatia-Sebastia
community have already been zoned, and the community will be completely
zoned by the end of the program.
The chief architect announced that design work is underway for urban
development of the section adjacent to Grigor Lusavorich Church. Urban
development has already begun in some parts of the 30th district. Urban
development projects for Kond and Kozern districts are being worked
out and will be publicly discussed in 2-3 months.
S. Danielian said that a tower to complete the architectural appearance
of the mayor’s office will be built at the Wine Plant by a renewed
version of the sketches of architect Rafael Israelian. It was stated
that Old Yerevan district with about 20 buildings of historical and
cultural value will be founded in Main Avenie, behind Sil Plaza shop.
