Rationale: Why have you selected this case study area?
- Please summarise:- e.g. previous experience, is it your everyday environment?, specific vulnerability, previous research being done etc.
Tehran is the hometown of one of the group members and it is her everyday environment. Tehran is the mega city in the north of Iran and has a good climate which is suffering most from air pollution and crowded population. Other issues that become relevant in this city and regional level are related With The climate as dust storms and floods. Precipitation tend to increase in the wettest areas while in the drier areas decrease. This fact influence the agronomy. Other changes in the weather is snowy winter which starts earlier than expected
Authors' perspectives
- What theoretical or professional perspective do you bring to the case study?
Tehran is situated on a plain at the foot of the Alborz Mountains Presents diversity of climate and terrain. In the relief find a fault beneath the Alborz chain and several smaller faults located in the plains of the south of the city. For this reason the city is exposed to earthquakes. The city does not have major water resources. It is located at an equal distance from two major river basins that collect water coming from the mountains located upstream. Suffers the problems of the big cities of the world: air pollution and hearing, traffic congestion, social class difference. The northern suburbs of the city, located in height on the slopes of Alborz, are the suburbs of the population of the upper middle class of the capital. To the south, toward the desert, are the most popular neighborhoods and industrial. Currently air pollution and rapid population growth are major issue and vulnerability. The environmental capacity for the proper development of quality of life, is insufficient.
