The feasibility of high-rise construction in in Bojnurd

The pace of urbanization in the world especially in developing countries in the recent decades has caused urban environment instability challenges. One of the problems is horizontal and immethodical expansion that has caused traffic, more use of energy, more environmental pollution and social isolation. If urban management is trying to control and reduce the urban problems to present urban expansion models, then it should reconsider urban planning methods and create efficient models in urban environments.This essay is aimed to present modern and efficient methods of urban structures by clarifying the infill development model and urban high-rise construction method and is also trying to answer the question that: " Can high-rise construction be an acceptable method of urban endogenous development in Bojnurd as a medium-sized city? " by conducting library and field studies and a practical research method.Bojnourd is a medium-sized city in the northeast of the country.The city has an area of more than 3,000 hectares and a population of about 250,000. The results show that Bojnurd expansion has faced urban sprawl over the past 20 years and about 70 hectares have been added to the city area while the available area of the city has the endogenous development potential and standard compact construction; and checking the population compaction, land value and urban pathways capacity and the questionnaire outcomes done by urban managers show that in some peripheral areas of the city, there is the potential of high-rise construction up to 6 floors in order to prevent the immethodical city expansion.
