This book, based on conference excerpts, investigates various
aspects of contemporary Iranian urbanism. The topics covered range
from the impacts of political developments on the cities' rapid
socio-economic developments, to the cities' troubled relationship
with the country's built-environment history and their frequently
ill-managed exposure to Western notions of development and
globalisation. Last but not least, the country's vulnerability to
natural disasters in an age of increasing urban-population
densification is also considered. Alongside more theoretically and
artistically oriented debates, the book's individual contributions
turn their attention to the now much higher proportion of urban
dwellers in the country's rising population. It also discusses the
policies designed in response to these demographic moves, including
those to develop new towns, find housing for the excess population
in existing cities, renovate historic buildings and create new
public spaces. The practice-policy oriented contributions also
include those concerning the country's responses to natural
disasters.
