Dispossession by co-optation
This article analyses a case of state-led rent gap-driven gentrification in Abkouh, an informal neighbourhood located in the centre of Mashhad, Iran. Drawing on field observations, media analysis, and semi-structured interviews, it explores varied tactics- compensation, tokenistic participation, and co-opted empowerment- employed by the local state to dispossess residents of their properties and communal life. These tactics aim to persuade reside…
Feminization of the urban planning discipline
With the increasing number of female students enrolling and graduating from the Department of Urbanism at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Iran, this study aims to mainstream gender into urban planning pedagogy. This is achieved by analyzing a case study comprising 47 survey responses and seven follow-up interviews. Among other factors, respondents’ perspectives on gender are more influenced by their personal experiences rather than the objective …
Technologies of inclusion in the frontier of urban renewal
Abkouh, an informal settlement in the center of Mashhad, was designated as an urban renewal zone in order to be integrated functionally and economically with its surrounding. In the context of community’s resistance to the project, this article investigates different tactics adopted by the local state to manage residents’ discontents. The latter is described in different “technologies of inclusion” from compensation to cooperation and empowerment…
A measurement of community seismic resilience in sub-city districts of Mashhad, Iran
Communities that are more resilient to seismic hazards are often able to retain their functions in a time of crisis and experience faster recovery. This study develops a holistic approach for assessing community seismic resilience in thirteen sub-city districts of Mashhad. Three resilience properties (robustness, resourcefulness, and redundancy) are matched with six community resilience dimensions to construct a Community Seismic Resilience Index…
Urban planning in ancient cities of Iran
One of the most remarkable cities of Sasanian Iran was Ardašīr-Xwarrah, the first royal city of the empire founded by Ardašīr I in 224 AD. While historical texts and archaeological surveys only provide details about the ruined architectural monuments of the complex, the circular-concentric layout of the city has been the subject of several speculative interpretations. The premise of this article is to question the cosmological significance of Ard…
