Abstract
In recent years, due to the natural population growth and immigration, demand for houses in many of the large cities has risen. In spite of the fact that there are lots of lands which are abandoned or occupied with inappropriate uses as worn out texture in down towns, large cities have the problem of physical disintegration and unplanned development towards farming lands and suburb gardens which will result in huge unsustainability in different dimensions including economic, social, physical and environmental. Using the potentials of worn out textures in down towns is one of the solutions, which has been noted in literature of infill city developments in recent years in order to achieve a sustainable development. In this research, potentials of worn out texture of the city of Isfahan as a sustainable approach for future development have been investigated and some solutions have been suggested in order to have an optimal guidance which is based on regeneration of worn out textures. Methodology of the research is descriptive and analytic and is identically practical. The data have been gathered through librarian references, observation and questioners. After it, the area of worn out texture in down town was calculated and then through using clustering model, the number of houses needed in the city of Isfahan in the year 2025 was estimated. The results of the research indicate that in inner city context of Isfahan, due to the existence of the worn out textures, providing house is approachable and worn out texture regeneration can be considered as a sustainable approach for future urban development.
Highlights
These days, the growth in most cities of the developing countries specially in the cities of Iran has culminated in the vertical growth of the cities (Parizadi et al, 2012), whose sustainability has been neglected in most of the cases
In most of the historical cities of Iran, the practical infill development regions are located in the worn out textures with focus on enhancing their good potential as housing lands whereas, in developed countries, most of the abandoned lands belong to industrial utilities which bring with them environmental dangers as well (Parizadi et al, 2012)
During the different series of nose counts, the population of Isfahan has faced a rapid increase which is due to the immigrations to this city in different periods of time
Summary
These days, the growth in most cities of the developing countries specially in the cities of Iran has culminated in the vertical growth of the cities (Parizadi et al, 2012), whose sustainability has been neglected in most of the cases In this kind of development, one of the most important sustainable-related challenges to be discussed is the disintegrations which are imposed on physical body and social structure of the city. Because of the given problems and great expenses which are forced on cities by this development, the need for a new approach in urban development based on a review of the existing potentials in cities is tangible more than ever This kind of development which is known as infill city development is considered as a solution for preservation of cities’ resources and improvement of their life cycle process specially, in cities that have some limitations in terms of horizontal development. In most of the historical cities of Iran, the practical infill development regions are located in the worn out textures with focus on enhancing their good potential as housing lands whereas, in developed countries, most of the abandoned lands belong to industrial utilities which bring with them environmental dangers as well (Parizadi et al, 2012)
