Yangon
is
the
largest
city
and
a
former
capital
of
Burma.
It
is
the
capital
of
Yangon
Division.
Although
the
military
government
has
officially
relocated
the
capital
to
Naypyidaw
since
March
2006,
Yangon,
with
a
population
of
four
million,
continues
to
be
the
country’s
largest
city
and
the
most
important
commercial
center.
Yangon's
infrastructure
is
relatively
undeveloped
compared
to
those
of
other
major
cities
in
Southeast
Asia.
Yangon
has
the
largest
number
of
colonial
buildings
in
Southeast
Asia
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.
