political economy of space

Cities and especially metropolises, due to the concentration of power and wealth factors, play anirreplaceable role in the developments of the contemporary world, in such a way that cities, due to theconcentration of capital - especially in the form of fixed capital - are considered as an important source for theflow of profit, which this flow through It is realized by political forces and mainly in favor of capitalist groups;Therefore, it is obvious that the metropolises under the oil system produce their style and spatial-functionalstructure corresponding to their economic and political situation, according to the specific politicalcharacteristics, so the exploration of the pattern of social-urban relations in the oil economy is the goal of thisresearch. . For this purpose, using a critical approach, historical documents in the socio-spatial field have beenanalyzed. The results of this study show that the formation of unequal social relations and speculative socialrelations grows in the framework of the rent system, and these inequalities continue to show themselves in thebody and urban structure after passing through the smoothness of the sp.

Today with the spatialization of more and more logic called urbanization,cities are growing and advancing more than ever through a kind of spatial competition.

As an example of these development plans and programs, this article Uses the qualitative method of grounded theory and describes the space of conflict formed around the development plan of the University of Tehran.The research findings show that in this field, through an intertwining of academic rationality and power networks, the knowledge that is concerned with the public good is produced, and Creates the issue that is necessary here to create a green, entrepreneurial and Entrepreneur university. At the same time, this particular knowledge generated by power relations is legitimized.This is where the logic of development is reproduced in a particular spatial form.One of the commonalities of this spatiality in the general concept of development logic is the types of dispossession.This expropriation, along with all the exercise of power, leads to resistance from the communities and here the residents of Vesal neighborhood.Finally,the set of these multiple forces is drawn around the development plan of the University of Tehran and the relationship between the claims of the said plan and the field of reality is measured using methodology.
