Abstract

ABSTRACT Scholars have argued that the annex of several villages has formed the current urban fabric of the metropolis of Tehran since becoming the capital in 1785. Three primary historic nuclei of Ray, the city center, and Tajrish have chronologically configured the growth and urbanization pattern of the city. The historic nuclei are the main identity generators and constitute the urban narrative of the metropolis of Tehran. In the process of the urbanization of Tehran, three political power shifts have affected the cultural heritage layers of the historic nuclei. The governing states have transformed Tehran village into a metropolis and in the process eradicated the rich layers of cultural heritage. The transformation of the village of Tehran to the metropolis has not been critically examined from a cultural heritage perspective. This paper investigates the urbanization process of the metropolis of Tehran through three historic nuclei as sites of cultural heritage and examines how cultural heritage was interpreted by the state and implemented into the different urban planning and policy-making practices.

文化遗产镜头下的城市化:以德黑兰为例(1785-2017)

摘要学者们认为，自1785年德黑兰成为首都以来，几个村庄的合并形成了德黑兰目前的城市结构。Ray、市中心和Tajrish三个主要的历史核心按时间顺序构成了城市的增长和城市化模式。历史内核是主要的身份生成器，构成了德黑兰大都市的城市叙事。在德黑兰城市化进程中，三次政治权力转移影响了历史核心的文化遗产层。执政国家已将德黑兰村改造成大都市，并在此过程中铲除了丰富的文化遗产。德黑兰村向大都市的转变并没有从文化遗产的角度进行批判性的研究。本文通过三个作为文化遗产地的历史核心来调查德黑兰大都市的城市化进程，并考察国家如何解读文化遗产，并将其落实到不同的城市规划和决策实践中。

期刊介绍： Heritage & Society is a global, peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for scholarly, professional, and community reflection on the cultural, political, and economic impacts of heritage on contemporary society. We seek to examine the current social roles of collective memory, historic preservation, cultural resource management, public interpretation, cultural preservation and revitalization, sites of conscience, diasporic heritage, education, legal/legislative developments, cultural heritage ethics, and central heritage concepts such as authenticity, significance, and value. The journal provides an engaging forum about tangible and intangible heritage for those who work with international and governmental organizations, academic institutions, private heritage consulting and CRM firms, and local, associated, and indigenous communities. With a special emphasis on social science approaches and an international perspective, the journal will facilitate lively, critical discussion and dissemination of practical data among heritage professionals, planners, policymakers, and community leaders.
