Rationale: Why is this case interesting?
River valleys are a valuable feature of Tehran in this arid climate. They act as lungs of a city which bring fresh air from mountains. Unfortunately, there is not much attention to this natural feature in Tehran. Actually, in many parts of the city, their beds have been covered by non-permeable materials, and even worse they have been replaced by highways with a lot of natural and social consequences. On the other hand, Tehran is also a metropolitan with huge inner-city travels and a burgeoning interest in walking and biking. However, there are not safe and enjoyable spaces to comfortably walk and bike. I see these river valleys a great opportunity to convert to an ecological pathway. Besides discharging stormwater, they have a remarkable potential to more integrate communities, more tie people to nature, make people healthy, and provide a sustainable delightful transportation network.
