Abstract

The rapid growth of population in metropolitan areas such as Tehran and consequently the increase of construction cause to reduce the available green and natural areas. The modern urbanization ignored the presence of nature in urban environments and the human needs to interactions with natural spaces. This problem led to the new challenges in urban communities. Constructing urban green areas without considering the quality and identity cannot be a solution of the existing crisis. The need of the residents of modern cities to have relations with the nature in the daily life requires the creation of spaces for the citizens to depend on them. The paper investigated the aesthetic principles of the archetypes of Persian gardens. Then, theories analyzed that how to use these concepts in modern parks of Tehran. Results show that the use of these principles and concepts has successful effects for getting close to the social/economic sustainability of urban parks.
