The map
Dushanbe lies in the Hisor valley in western Tajikistan, with ranges rising to the north. The Varzob River, also called the Dushanbinka, flows south through the city and gives it a clear north–south axis. Rudaki Avenue, the main street, runs parallel to the river, and much of the centre is laid out in wide, tree-lined blocks from the Soviet period.
The city's name comes from the Tajik word for Monday, after the weekly market held in the village that stood here. In the Soviet era it was renamed Stalinabad and expanded as the capital of the Tajik republic. The name Dushanbe returned in 1961. Today the Palace of Nations, large parks and new government buildings line the river.
A Dushanbe map poster shows a planned capital shaped by its valley. The river runs down the middle of the frame, the avenues follow it in long lines, and the suburbs spread outward until the hills close in. It is a clear, structured design with a real sense of place.
The river runs north to south through the heart of the city, lined by parks and embankments, and forms the central line of the map.
The city's main avenue runs roughly parallel to the river through the centre, and many of its principal squares and public buildings stand along it.
Foothills and mountain ridges rise to the north of the city, so the street grid gives way to steeper terrain at the edges of the frame.

Why Dushanbe
Dushanbe is a capital that many Tajik families abroad still call home, and visitors often come to it on the way to the Pamirs. A map of its river and avenues is a clear reminder of the city.
