Architectural Decisions
As already mentioned, the construction of Didi Dighomi started in 1987. So, the buildings here are relatively new. The government, with the help of the independent contractors and companies, is working on recycling abandoned soviet-era industrial buildings that way transforming Didi Dighomi into a modern neighborhood. But the ongoing construction somewhat affects the ecology of this place. Aside from the ecology factor, there is not much landscaping which is not always flattering.
Accessibility Of The Neighborhood
Note to remember Didi Dighomi is located far from the center of Tbilisi. Therefore, many locals express grievances about its location. As for other solutions, public transportation like buses or marshrutka is always available and at a comfortable price.
