Abstract
The Institute for International Urban Development (I2UD) proposed a field-study based Development Strategy “Improvement Strategies for Affordable Housing in Yerevan, Armenia” in 2008, to identify affordable housing solutions for the improvement of living conditions in older neighborhoods of Yerevan.
The report specifically addressed upgrading strategies for Soviet-era housing estates in Yerevan, Armenia. Documents include a 8-month proposed schedule for the study, as well as overviews of relevant projects undertaken by I2UD.

[Excerpt, Page 1]
“We are proposing to assist the Municipality of Yerevan in addressing the social housing crisis and developing an appropriate response to the challenge of providing housing that is affordable to the majority of its inhabitants. Yerevan’s situation is unique in being the locus of activity of many successful diaspora developers and emerging local contractors and entrepreneurs. The programs developed must reflect the urban dynamics prevailing in the city, its growth patterns and the vision of its future presented in its plan.”
