Vazha-Pshavela, block #6 Tbilisi / Georgia

The Vazha-Pshavela microdistrict was formed in 1960-1970. The area consists mainly of panel 5-storey residential buildings and a large football field in the middle of the block.
This is a green and cozy area that locals love. The issue of the future development of modernist panel buildings is relevant today for residents, city departments, urbanists and developers.
