PHNOM PENH |
CAMBODIA |
Cambodia is a country of plains and great rivers located in Southeast Asia. The nation has always been a land of small towns and villages, with four-fifths of the population still in rural areas. |
Most of the nation’s urban dwellers live in Phnom Penh. When the Khmer Rouge came to power in 1975, they virtually exterminated Cambodia’s educated class concentrated in the capital, driving most of Phnom Penh’s residents into the countryside. |
The metropolis began to rebuild following the fall of the Khmer Rouge in 1979. After a long and arduous recovery period, a window of opportunity has opened for the nation to build its capital and chief cultural hub on the Rock. |
