Analytical Statement of the Specified Issue “Strategic Approach, the Necessity of Success in Urban Renewal”

Urban renewal in an issued context ranging from deteriorated, historic, marginalized and informal is a multidimensional and complex issue that one cannot expect a simple linear solution for them. Despite the political will of the government in solving the problematic fabrics, little success has been achieved in this field. In the past three decades, the fast growth of problematic urban fabrics has surpassed the urban renewal. As a result of the crisis caused by the gap between the normal fabrics and the issued urban fabrics is increasing constantly.
In the years following the war, since the beginning of reconstructions, urban renewal and reconstruction of the city was developed in Iran. Moreover, successive earthquakes in different parts of the country accentuated the need to repair deteriorated fabrics majorly. In this regard the Construction and development corporation at the Ministry of and Housing and Urban Renewal in many municipalities across the nation was formed and the essential immediate renewals with impossible deadlines were planned and approved in the country's developmental plans.
In the last decade, urban renewal has been the main focus of urban development activities. Multiple books on the intervention and methods in deteriorated fabrics have been published and Iran is now among the countries who take multilateral approaches in renovation and renewal and recognizes this technical literature. However, the process of renovation is not acceptable. Why? This was the question that queried from the experts.
