Abstract

As a city of 7.8 million people in a province of 13.4 million, Tehran faces major challenges in sustainable development. This paper presents a brief history of Tehran’s development, followed by a discussion of its urban form, governance and planning processes, and some of the major challenges that face the city today, primarily environmental pollution, traffic congestion, and management of urban growth, as well as social divide and environmental risks.
