Landscape Improvement and Rehabitilation of Urban Margin of Arvand River, Khoramshahr, Iran:

Potential of Green Infrastructures for social benefits in margin areas

Name	Arvand River
Country	Iran
City	Khoramshahr
Authors	Hani Gholami

Rationale: Why is this case interesting?

Khoramshahr is a border and potential city at the border of Iran. A big part of its importance is straightly related to the dozens of oil resources nearby and the other part flashes back to the history when it was a war between Iran and Iraq. This nostalgic city is located adjacent to Arvand River which defines a part of the border of Iran-Iraq and also provides a livable land for landscape residents. Unfortunately, At 30 years ago, Khoramshahr was completely destroyed in the war and The city was a ghost town in the 1986 census, but now it is a fairly big city again, as it was before the war. In previous three decades lots of developments has happened but not with a very deep consideration. Arvand River is providing a considerable possibility for having better quality of everything. By good understanding of Green Infrastructure and a wise plan, we can get its benefit to the work and converse the land from mostly gray to green. Along with, re-providing the bed for biodiversity life and also try to make some perfect facilities for public recreation.
