Due to the importance of natural and productive landscape within the city and in the suburbs, various
solutions have been presented, in order to integrate the urban development and the surrounding nature
to protect and preserve green spaces and productive landscape.
A key objective of Tehran’s productive landscape design and planning is to create a unified environment
which is coherent internally and it conducts a seamless transition from natural environment to the urban
environment. Through implementing this method productive landscape penetrated in to the urban context
through a hierarchical process.
The specific characteristic of this design is to concern the economical, cultural and environmental importance
of productive landscape. Moreover agricultural activities will be implemented as part of urban life and
unauthorized construction prohibited in the agricultural lands (Fig.6), as result:
Existing agricultural landscape at the city edge provides the opportunity to revitalized productive
landscapes in the city. The agricultural land and gardens are territories where developed rural
landscape penetrates in to the urban context.
The agricultural lands located at the terminal point of the three (south to north) axis and the
productive landscape enters through these channels into the city.
Three agricultural zones linked together through development of green productive network that
generates green productive zone in southern Tehran.
In this respect, to achieve this goal, long-term planning is required in order to improve environmental
conditions to change the polluted land use.
