For the lower income segment of Tehran's population, the infra- structure shortages that have arisen as a result of heavy concentrations of people and economic activities within Tehran are approaching critical pro- portions. Nowhere is this more evident than for transport. The transport system is only adequate although increasingly overloaded for the 15% who ac- tually own a car; the system is seriously inadequate for all others. They must choose between a very poor bus service or a taxi service that is too expensive for daily use. The net result of such a choice has been the diver- sion of probablyas many as 400,000lower incomepassengers a day over the last three years. Loss of mobilityand access to the occupational,cultural, recreational and educationalaspects of Tehran'slife are a disproportionate hardship on the low income worker. ii. Tehran is a large city, not only measured by its population of 1.8 million,but in physicalsize. The urbanizedarea has sprawledto 350 kmh and the center city, where modern and traditional zones of commerce, finance and business, as well as goversment administration are clustered, is concen- trated in an area 5 km east-west by 6 km north-south. Industrial zones have developedalong the access roads outside the centercity. The scale of the city and its haphazardlydeveloped physical layout mean that commutingis a necessityfor the bulk of the labor force. Inadequatepublic transportation imposesnot merelyphysical constraints and loss of time but also a financial burden to the commutingurban poor on a day-to-daybasis. In the long run inadequatetransport impairs labor market flexibilityand reinforcesoccupa- tional, income and residential stratification that already exists to a marked extent. iii. Falteringpublic transitservice is the most obvioustransportation defectresulting from rapid and unplannedurbanization. Another problem is the road systemwhich is basicallyrelatively adequate in structurebut de- ficientfor the presentheavy flows of predominantlyautomobile traffic. Poorly interconnected radial roads into Tehran and an incomplete orthogonal road grid within Tehran cause almost constant congestion in the city. The projected net addition of some 275,000 passenger cars within the next ten years to the present level of 140,000 will, if unconstrained undoubtedly produce chaotic traffic conditions. Structural changes are necessary in the street network to decongest certain particularly poor areas. In the long run, major transport policies are required to halt the cycle of increased conges- tion, poorer public transit services and increased auto usage. The opportunity for positivepolicy on privateauto restraint,however, is dependenton in- creasedefficiency in and price competitivenessby public transport. - ii - iv. Orderly and equitable growth of the transport system, in the long run, involves determination about the social, economic and physical future of Tehran. Decisions to be taken on transport development, as on sewage, storm water drainage, housing and water supply recuire an adequate urban planning framework beyond that contained in the Master Plan of 1966. The Plan was predicated on arbitrary and artificial limitations on population growth, city size and new industrial investments - limitations which were difficult to enforce and which have been eroded by ad hoc decisions taken to relieve critical conditions in the short run and a continuing population growth well above that foreseen. Decisions taken in the absence of an ade- que.teurban planning framework have had only temporary results in meeting serious urban infrastructuraldeficiencies, and have prompted ever heavier concentrationsof people and economic activity in the centra-.area of Tehran. The city has grown concentricallyintensifying central area pressure, and conflicting with the westward growth of the city by stages envisaged in the 1966 Master Plan. Such a fundamental conflict between actual and intended growth points up the need to assess in depth alternative growth strategies for the Tehran urban region, and to plan future urban investments on a sys- tematic basis within t'aeframework of new urban guidelines. v. The Government of Iran's commitment to the positive development o' Tehran and to the formulation of an urban strategy that can tie together and rationalize development efforts is articulated in the Fifth Five Year Develop- ment Plan's proposed Tehran Development Council. The establishment of the Council is of immediate and overriding importance to t1he Government as a result of-the pressure of forthcoming critical infrastructural developments, of which transport development is one. Accordingly, in June 1973, a bill establishing the Tehran Development Council was presented to Parliament for enactment. Because of the urgent need to establish a comprehensive planning capability the Government has requested that assistance to the Council and developmentof an urban strategy be a part of a short term program of urban

    Tehran Tehran Tehran The capital of Persia since 1789, Tehran has grown from a dusty backwater to a teeming metropolis of 800,000. In the last decade alone, Tehran has added 300,000 residents, many displaced by the earthquakes, monster attacks, and other consequences of the Serpentfall. And some of these new residents are here to play the secret game that Britain and Russia have played here–much to the distaste of Persians of all stripes–since the 19th century. But now the game is in new innings; played with a savage intensity here because Persia is almost the only court left for it. The Serpent Curtain lies across Europe, an impenetrable barrier. Turkey is surrounded by Soviet clients and conquests–and by suspicious Soviet guards. Central Asia and China are remote, plagued by warlords and bitter cold. But Persia borders Soviet territory directly, a border that moved much closer to Tehran after the Soviets annexed Persian Azerbaijan in 1946. Less than 200 miles from the expanded Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic, Tehran has become Tbilisia veritable nest of spies. It draws those who would try to smuggle agents into the Soviet empire, and information out…and it draws those who would move the Soviet border yet again, all the way out to the PersianBaku Gulf and the doorstep of India.Tashkent T Stalinabad SSR A Ashgabad SSR Zanjan Tehran A S KabulSAADABAD NIAVARAN Damascus Baghdad P Evin TAJRISH Prison Red Air Force Isfahan Station SHEMIRAN I Telephone Jerusalem Abadan Exchange GHOLHAK British Mission and Cemetery R S Sample file P’ A Karachi S t Demavend J oun To M R Doshan Tappan MuscatTo Kand Airport Mehrabad Jiddah To Zanjan (Soviet Border) Aerodrome BombayTEHRAN N O DULAB Gondar A A Aden S Qul’eh Gabri Parthian Ruins SHAHRA RAYY Medieval Ruins To Garm Sar Salt Desert To Hamadan To Qom To Kavir 4 Tehran Tehran THE CHARACTER OF TEHRAN Tehran sits–and increasingly, sprawls–on the southern slopes of the Elburz Mountains, specifically Mount Demavend, an extinct volcano that towers 18,000 feet above sea level.
