Tbilisi metro area.<br />

Tbilisi metropolitan area is spreading along the river Mtkvari, so-called “Tbilisi trench”, and<br />

is located at the spot where several historical and ethnographic regions meet. Tbilisi<br />

metro’s role in the entire system of Georgian settlement is mainly based on its location on<br />

the cross-point of the basic country settlement axis, as well as the regional and<br />

transnational one.<br />

Metro territory consists of four municipal territories (Mtskheta, Tbilisi, Rustavi, Gardabani)<br />

and the sub–regional divisions (rayons).<br />

Mtskheta (the World Heritage Site) has overtaken the functions of historical-cultural and<br />

tourist-recreation center in the process of metro forming in the area of Mtskheta-Tbilisi-<br />

Rustavi-Gardabani. It is more reasonable that Mtskheta directly boarders Tbilisi and is<br />

eccentrically allocated in regard of the region.<br />

According to this concept,<br />

Mtskheta regional recreation part<br />

(e.g. Tskhvsarichamia, Zedazeni,<br />

Tsitsamuri,<br />

Armazi,<br />

Shiomghvime) remains within the<br />

Mtskheta municipality and is<br />

accordingly considered in the<br />

Tbilisi metro entire city planning<br />

space.<br />

Rustavi basically has industrial<br />

functions.<br />

Gardabani is known for its fuelenergy<br />

profile enterprises and<br />

storing functions.<br />

The potential to play administrational, business, financial, scientific, educational and<br />

cultural relation functions typical of a powerful regional center is the main city forming<br />

factor in Tbilisi.
