The Atlas of Tehran Metropolis is a research project on geographic analysis of Tehran, and its region’s residents, activities and facilities. Although the metropolitan area of Tehran, with a population of more than 12 million, is one of the largest metropolises of the world, no comprehensive research has been carried out on its geographic and historic aspects. Therefore, not enough knowledge about Tehran and its region had been made available. The Atlas of Tehran Metropolis seeks to provide reliable information on demographic, cultural, economic and housing aspects of Tehran’s inhabitants through detailed geographic studies of neighborhood and village levels. This project includes both the City of Tehran and its region, since it is impossible to understand this City without considering those who live in its suburbs and commute back and forth. this Atlas is both an academic research and a practical project, making it possible for academicians and urban planners to compare Tehran with other large cities of the world in order to better understand its features and course of development. On the other hand, this Atlas lays out the issues and concerns of Tehran’s citizens, to be easily considered by the region’s urban managers and political officials.
