The book "Special Renovation Plan for Deteriorated Areas" was written by Dr. Seyed Amir Mansouri, Associate Professor of the Department of Landscape Architecture at the University of Tehran, and Engineer Ali Khani, and was published in 2008 by Re-Yor Publications; Statistics and Information Organization of Computer Services (Statistics Unit).
The Special Plan for the Renovation of Dilapidated Areas is an attempt to overcome the limitations that comprehensive and detailed plans of Tehran create for the renovation of Dilapidated Areasof the city. The 2007 Tehran Master Plan, by shrugging off the responsibility of leading the renovation of dilapidated textures, only determined areas as Dilapidated Areas in Tehran. It assigned the responsibility for renovation to a thematic renovation plan that was never prepared. At the same time, the flow of life in these textures has its normal flow and the need for renovation and quality improvement in them, like in other parts of the city, is emerging from time to time. In response to the inaction of the comprehensive plan in response to the demand for renovation of dilapidated structures, and also in order to amend the resolution of the Supreme Urban Planning Council for the recognition of dilapidated structures, which deferred it to three conditions, a special detailed plan for the renovation of dilapidated structures was prepared by the Tehran City Renovation Organization. The approach of this plan, in the absence of the necessary legal space for the deconstruction of traditional plans, was to exploit the interpretative capacities of the ordinary detailed plan, which, by looking at the necessities of realizing renovation in dilapidated structures, offers new methods. In this approach, the format of the plan is neighborhood-oriented and its emphasis is on granting the maximum possible density, taking into account the per capita services required in order to make construction economical for owners. In this plan, the problem of providing parking for newly built units is solved by consolidating license plates and increasing the parking capacity. Naturally, the capacity for aggregation has limitations, given the social, economic, and physical conditions of residents and buildings, and the special plan approach only considers the parts that have this possibility. This book has interpreted this issue in two chapters.
