Identification And Design Of Abandoned Urban Land

In the past few decades, rapid urbanization and uncontrolled growth have led to the creation of inhabitable cities that lack high-quality public spaces for their citizens. One of the major problems facing modern cities is the development of meaningless and unusable urban lands, often due to haste or unintended consequences. With fundamental changes occurring in the global landscape, many architects and thinkers are being forced to re-examine urban spaces in metropolitan areas and adopt new approaches to improve public spaces in cities. One such approach is the redevelopment of abandoned urban lands, which is hindered by the lack of basic principles and strategies for utilizing these lands in urban planning and architectural design. The over-development of cities is also a significant contributing factor to environmental and climate change related issues, emphasizing the need for positive changes in abandoned urban lands. This project utilizes documentary content analysis and library tools to analyze lands in different areas based on their shapes, dimensions, and frequency, and determine the appropriate architectural strategies to improve urban spaces. The objective of this work is to identify and classify abandoned urban lands in a case study area of District 2 in Tehran, Iran, and provide different strategies based on their dimensions and frequency in the region.
