Abstract

The exterior- oriented URBAN TRANSFIGURATION, being chiefly urban- penchant and centrality- tended, has caused remarkable structural changes in urban- administration and urban- habitation in the recent centennial in IRAN, in such a manner that the population of urban- dwellers in the country grew up from nearly 20.6% in the year 1900 to 61.3% in the year 1996. This change has been induced in by the impetuous expansion of city-dwelling areas in the country. Meanwhile, the URBAN NETWORK of the country was disrupted and hence the population concentration in metropolises is considered as one of the outstanding characteristics of the city- administration in that period. And now this very procedure has been the root cause of expansion of peripheral dwelling and the cropping up of satellite and spontaneous towns on the outskirts of the metropolises. On the one hand, a pertinent arrangement and cohesive planning for a better standard of living with a conducive urban environment for the urbanites, and on the other hand, the control and check on the parametric inhabitation and cropping up of spontaneous and unplanned townships have rendered the need for configuration and planning of well-designed NEW TOWNS quite definitely indispensable. Nevertheless, the configuration of the NEW TOWNS, having been planned usually to cope with the demand of overspill of the metropolises, is quite a new conception in IRAN and it goes back to a couple of decades. A glance on the placement of such towns in the urban - dwelling system of the country from the point of view of constructional conditions and the people settled therein, manifests the inefficiency of these towns. The reasons for this shortcoming should be traced in the major urban- expansion policies of the country, INEFFICIENT MANAGEMENT of the structure and implementation scheme of these towns, and fmally the limitations brought about by non- existence of identity in the NEW TOWNS. The amendment of such deficiencies can play a vitally important role in the promotion of placement of NEW TOWNS in the urban system of the country.All in all, the most dominating problems that have caused a languid performance are: First: Lack of regional planning and attending only to the town plans resulted, in most cases, in inflicting irreparable losses to environmental potentials and to resources which could not be restored. This factor involves various developments and constructions which in the case of NEW TOWNS bears a strong perspective.Secondly: The announcement by the ministry of housing and town- building that these towns are being built without government aid, means that none of the government organization and institutions with regard to satisfying the needs and wants of these towns, shared the responsibility. Consequently, this policy has brought about heavy expenses on the managements of the NEW TOWNS.Thirdly: The most important problem now facing the new-towns in the world is the negation of their identity. As far as the NEW TOWNS of IRAN are concerned, engineer Kamrava says "I have to say with regret that the NEW TOWNS we have founded lack a distinctive characteristic identity and have failed to create some dignity-bearing incentive for its devoted citizens".
