A Comprehensive Attitude towards the Arrangement Notion in City; form Utilizing a Development Director and Controller Role in Urban Space

Interventions that happened in recent decades show the modern viewpoint failure toward cities. Approaches based on simple deterministic decision-making methods cannot organize cities that are as complex, unpredictable, chaotic, and self-organizer phenomena. A living city shows characteristics of continuous change, and during these phases of change, it can adapt and reorganize itself according to the ongoing situations. This manner is different from what most modernist theorists think about cities. Imposing simplistic rules to complex cities leads to loss of quality and eventually makes living cities unpleasant places to live. This point of view needs to be changed. Recent research about the order versus disorder meaning shows a significant change from Euclidean geometry to a fractal perspective. As chaotic fractal phenomena are not as predictable and straightforward as most modernist urban theorists consider, a significant change must be considered in urban interventions. Therefore, to reach an attitude that accommodates appropriately to the complex, chaotic, unpredictable characteristics of cities, this paper tries to present a better perspective on urban interventions. By investigating recent hypotheses of theorists like Christopher Alexander, Nikos A. Salingaros, and other scholars, this paper justifies controlling and guiding urban designers instead of designing a final layout for urban space and trying to impose it on the city›s complex field. Therefore, decision-making on a small scale must be devolved to urban spaces› actual users.
