Project stockholder: an effective system for renewal and revitalization of dilapidated inner city areas

摘要

This article explains the major difficulties of metropolitan cities concerning their dilapidated inner city areas. In Iran, there are 57,000 hectares of such areas having three major characteristics. There are difficulties in accessing the city quarters due to narrow roads and alley ways, most of the buildings having unsafe structural condition, and the building sites being too small for any viable construction. 207 cities have been identified having such urban problems in Iran. Urban renewals and revitalization plans of these neighbourhoods, despite the support of government and changes in laws and regulations, have not been as successful as expected.
