The first conference on Urban Design Theory & Practice in Iran will be co-hosted
by the University of Kurdistan and Birmingham City University.The conference discusses
questions related to theory and practice of urban design in Iran since the middle
of the Twentieth century. It focuses on the influence of both western modernist
and traditional urban planning and discusses how these ideas have affected the
approach to urban design during the past six decades. It encourages trans-disciplinary
approaches from disciplines such as urban design and planning, urban geography,
urbansociology, and urban history.
