Each human civilization establishes a purposeful order arising from its perception of the world, society, and elements of the city in its living environment. The most important reason for the diversity of cities is their different spatial organization, which has emerged as a result of the difference in the order of each city as a system. The modern city of Qazvin is the result of changes and developments that have occurred in it during different historical periods, and their traces can be identified in this city.
