Necessity of Reconsideration in the Process of the Cities' Development: An Introduction to Reach the Desired City's Image

Abstract

The current view and image of the cities of Iran are far from the desired quality. One of the reasons is the present process of the cities' formation and development. In this process, which includes the two general stages of creating urban plans and executing them, because of reasons that are stated in this study, reaching the desired goal is not possible. In this paper, by library inquiries and based on the experiences that were gained in the area of designing in different cities and cooperation with related organizations to the planning of urban programs and executing them, such as the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development and the municipalities, this process was reviewed and recommendations were made for its reconsideration and reformation. We hope that these recommendations are the beginning for further studies to reform this process, and eventually reach the desired urban view with quality.
