800 Anniversary of Moscow City Park Reconstruction

Dushanbe, Tajikistan

In the centre of Dushanbe, the park is adjacent to the opera house, one of the most significant historic buildings in the city. Originally the park was a small green area cut through with paths and dotted with traditional Central Asian plane trees and shrubs, but it had long fallen into a state of neglect. The reconstruction project included the laying of lawns and flower beds; the reconstruction of paths and alleyways; the building of playgrounds; and the demarcation of rest areas with fountains and cafes. No healthy plants were damaged during the works.
