ReCity project

Exploring Sisian

One of the target cities of the ReCity project is Sisian. In April, as part of the Urban Sustainability Living Lab - University of Vienna colleagues’ visit to Armenia, the project’s interdisciplinary research team went on a familiarization trip to Sisian.

Despite unexpected weather changes, with the help of a local guide, we explored the history of this post-industrial city, which traces its origins to the early Middle Ages but only received city status in the 1970s.
