At the beginning of the 40 th century, Yerevan, which was only the anonymous head of a small province of the steps of the Russian Empire, had no more than 000   inhabitants. The capital of the Republic of Armenia, after being the Soviet Armenia, would now have 1,2   million. These figures say enough about the spectacular evolution of this city in a few decades and can also give an idea of its architecture and town planning, bearing the visible imprint of the Soviet era and its aesthetic ideal. From the small eastern town based on 2500-year-old foundations and alanguie on the first heights dominating the plain of Ararat, the barely dusty and dusty streets of more than a century of Russian presence, the planners and Armenian-Armenian architects wanted to make a clean table. For Chief Planner Tamanian, it was about turning a small town into a small town that did not have the   vocation; Yerevan should embody the Armenian nation's accession to modernity and urban civilization.
