The French company wants to participate in the tender for the construction of the Yerevan ropeway

At the meeting with the delegation of experts from the Ile de France Regional Council and the Institute of Urbanism and Improvement, the chief architect of Yerevan, Artur Meschyan, presented the perspectives of the capital’s infrastructure development and planned urban planning changes.

Highlighting the program priorities, the chief architect of the city noted that it is planned to build a new metro station and a cable car, for which a French company has also expressed interest in participating in the tender. This was reported by the Information and Public Relations Department of the Yerevan Municipality.

“This is an interesting period for Yerevan. Urban planning regulations should be almost in a blank page approach. In this regard, your visit is extremely important. Of course, there are cultural differences between us, but we all want to apply new approaches in today’s urban development,” noted Artur Meschyan.

Expressing gratitude for the opportunity of the meeting and the information provided, the member of the delegation, responsible for international cooperation of the Institute of Urbanism and Improvement, Eric Huybresht, noted that Yerevan has set a high bar in front of it today.

Speaking about the specific steps of cooperation, the guests noted that the purpose of their visit is to demonstrate the possibilities of applying innovations and provide technical support. In the “Yerevan development investment program implementation office”, the guests were interested in infrastructure improvement investment programs.

The problems of the environmental protection sector and the restoration of the green zones of the city and the upcoming tasks were also discussed with the French colleagues.
