2014/Myanmar/Yangon

Yangon (Burmese: ရန်ကုန်; MLCTS: rankun mrui, pronounced: [jàɴɡòʊɴ mjo̰]; also known as Rangoon, literally: "End of Strife") is a former capital of Burma (Myanmar) and the capital of Yangon Region. Although the military government has officially relocated the capital to Naypyidaw since March 2006,[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yangon#cite_note-3|[3]]] Yangon, with a population of over four 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.[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yangon#cite_note-bygone-4|[4]]] 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.

Teams

(The idea of adding another team page is that there may be more than one team in a region/city)

Create a new Team page:

In all cases you need to keep the CategoryCity2014 to allow your city to be listed!
