Urban Management System of Isfahan in the Era of Constitutionalism An Analysis and Description

Concurrent with the Constitutional Revolution, an entity was created in most of the cities of our country called "Baladiyeh" in order to fill the gaps of urban management. Based on the available resources, the development and the initiation of Isfahan's Baladiyeh, the social bases, challenges and the initial obstacles are reviewed. Also people's view toward this new system of urban management and the measures of the authorities of this newly built entity for the stabilization of position and its credibility among other centers of power are considered. Since Isfahan's Nazmiyeh was created following the development of Baladiyeh, it has also received attention in this article. As all of the cities of Iran had the same conditions in that time period, we can generalize the processes involved with the establishment of this entity.The present study follows a descriptive-analytical method and uses a library-documentary method for the information gathering. It relies more on the published newspapers in Isfahan through the Constitutionalism as a first hand and reliable resource.
