Abstract
It has always been a challenge for the developing countries to develop a unified
approach towards dealing with their issues of historical environment. There has
always been a conflict of interest between dynamic technology- driven
modernisation and the appropriate respect and conservation of historical fabric.
After the advent of twentieth century, the Iranian cities were undergoing change in
a traditional and gradual process over a long period of time. However the desire
of modernisation in the twentieth century changed this slow and adaptive process
in favour of more dynamic, assertive and often centralised and authoritarian
approach until more recently when a more balanced and integrated approach and
institutional framework was at least partially adopted. This paper aims to review
the evolution of approaches in policies to urban revitalisation in Iran at national
level and identify their process of evolution and outcome, It also strives to identify
the driving forces behind the changes in approach to revitalisation of historic city
centres in Iran during the last two decades.
