  • Shushtar New Town: the Idea of a Community Interview with KAMRAN DIBA
    Shushtar New Town: the Idea of a Community Interview with KAMRAN DIBA 1 Edited by LUDOVICO MICARA and VERONICA SALOMONE Abstract: The text originates from an interview with Kamran Diba, recorded at his home, in Gaucin, near Malaga, on February 17th and 18th, 2016 (Fig. 1). The realization of the interview is by Ludovico Micara in collaboration with Veronica Salomone. The topic of the interview is the Shushtar New Town project, a new urban structure designed and built by Kamran Diba near Shushtar, a historic city in the Khuzestan province in south-eastern Iran. The story of Shushtar New Town designed and built between 1974 and 1980, on the eve of the Islamic revolution, is an important key to understanding the urban policies in Iran during this crucial historical transition and to assess, in this context, the innovative contribution by its author to the themes of the project and the formation of new cities and new urban communities in developing countries.2 Shushtar is a city in the Khuzestan province, in southeastern Iran, bordering Iraq and overlooking the Persian Gulf. It has a long history, together with neighboring Dezful and Shush (Susa), dating back to the Elamite period (4th-2nd millennium BC) followed by Achaemenid (550-330 BC) and the Sassanid (224-651 AD) periods before being conquered by the Arabs. The city, population now around 100,000, is also near Khorramshar and the areas affected by the worst and bloodiest phase of the war between Iran and Iraq (1980-88). This explains the events which have entailed drastic transformations suffered by the Shushtar New Town.
