Social and Cultural Limits of Tehran; Spatial Inequality and Lack of Social Justice

Tehran as one of the main metropolises has been faced with slums and raise of informal houses since 1340’s. This problem dramatically has been continuing. Tehran has been faced with the density of social crisis such as prostitution, labor children, drug deal, addiction, poverty and impossibility of convenient house. Volume, depth and spread of social problems in slums of Tehran and ignorance of all change them to dissolvable problems. Ignoring the feeling of insecurity in residents of the capital, changes in attitudes and values of residents’ view, formation of cultural economic and social mosaic unlike the zoning and density and inequality of space becomes more impossible day to day. In such circumstances, lack of sense of responsibility or taking outside limit issue from field of law will not be solution. Without a critical approach to these problems, applying fairy paradigm to all residents in Tehran, respect to citizen’s rights for all residents, will be impossible. Social relation and its domain, without social justice people-oriented approach, are an integrated totality which results in social, political and also cultural conflicts in encounter with class gaps and spatial inequality.
