"In recent years, the simior rain is even turned into a state of emergency not only in Yerevan, but also in Tbilisi, Baku, Krasnodar, and in many other major cities of the post-Soviet space.
Crazy floods, clogged streets, crashed vehicles and houses under water. If the probability of having such images years ago, the purely specialists spoke about the possibility of such images, then today they have become almost common and visible to everyone.
The main reason for the situation in the tragedy, since the 1990s, is irregular urban development, the growing rate of urbanization. The free construction began in the post-Soviet period has often been made without planning and infrastructure.
Almost everywhere, the population begins to focus on capitals (in major cities), making these cities a very uncomfortable life-growing districts like mushrooms, abnormal growth in the number of cars, etc. The cities have grown, but the skin and drainage systems remained the same, built in the Soviet period, which are not designed to drain such scales.
Experts state that without comprehensive programming and communal systems, cities, in private, Yerevan will continue to drown in the most unhealthy sense of the word. And for investments, there should be billions, it can be clear about the demolition of some areas, which is unlikely to enter any government.
One of our sources in the field of urban development said that if the overcrowding of the city of Yerevan is not taken into account, any emergency situation will be catastrophic. And how to unload Yerevan at least from cars, it is already a matter of political decision and international experience. "
