‌Bazar and Shopping Centers in the Middle East with an Emphasis on Iran

In this article, we have attempted to examine the relationship between Bazar and shopping centers in the Middle East and, more specifically, in Iran. Our approach is documentary and library-based, and we have, on the one hand, used literature review on Middle Eastern countries' commercial spaces, and on the other, the litrature in Iran. In fact, our main focus is on Iran, with the aim of reviewing the status of several countries in this regard, incorporating the status of Iranian commercial spaces within the broader regional context and context, and providing international comparability with key countries. In this article, we conclude that, despite the expansion of shopping malls, Bazar will continue to survive in the new commercialized space by modifying themselves and each of them will create its own niche and functional space.
