Yangon (also known as Rangoon, literally "End of
Strife") is a former capital of Myanmar and the
capital of Yangon Region. Although the military
government has officially relocated the capital
to Naypyidaw since March 2006, Yangon, with a
population of over five million, continues to be
the country's largest city and the most important
commercial centre. Although Yangon's
infrastructure is undeveloped compared to those
of other major cities in Southeast Asia, it has
the largest number of colonial buildings in the
region today. While many high-rise residential
and commercial buildings have been constructed or
renovated throughout downtown and Greater Yangon
in the past two decades, most satellite towns
that ring the city continue to be deeply
impoverished.
