MAJOR URBAN PROJECTS (URBAN DEVELOPMENT PLANS) IN IRAN AND THEIR IMPLEMENTATION PROBLEMS

Abstract

In recent years, Iran's urbanization has undergone various transformations as a result of various national and international events. With the establishment of the Iranian Budgetary Organization in 1948, integrated planning began to be carried out with the help of foreign advisers. This urban planning model, which is based on existing American and European models, had a very large impact in Iran, especially after the 1953 coup. Integrated planning has become the dominant discourse of urban development and planning in Iran. In Iran, as in other countries, there was a need to introduce effective modern methods of urban planning, since the population of cities increased dramatically due to the phenomenon of urban drift.

The relevance of research: studying and analyzing the stages of urban development in Iran and identifying the main methods for solving problems related to the urban development plans of Iran.

Purpose of the study: a comprehensive review and analysis of modern and historical literature, urban planning documentation and legislation of Iranian cities. Thus, the main objectives of the study can be identified as follows: a review of the historical literature and urban planning legislation in Iran; consideration of the main plans for the development of cities in Iran and their theoretical foundations and processes; the main differences in the implementation of such plans between Iran and other countries.

The research process uses the method of analyzing scientific and historical literature and state documents related to the urban planning legislation of Iran, and their implementation and performance in order to reach and formulate conclusions. The conclusion of the study is to consider the urban planning legislation and urban planning projects of Iran, and identify the main features of solving problems related to the urban development plans.

The scientific novelty of the study lies in the analysis, study and determination of the urban development plans in Iran, and identifying the main problems and shortcomings associated with the application of the urban development plans.
