Cities in Iran have witnessed considerable growth over the last few decades. Of the 60 million people recorded in the last national census of 1996, 37 million (i.e., 61%) lived in cities. For some cities, the level of growth has been so rapid that housing shortages in the older neighborhoods have translated to haphazard western-style sub-urbanization. After Qom and Tehran. Yazd, as a province, has become one of the most highly urbanized states in Iran. As of 1996, over 75 percent of the population in the province lived in cities. The city of Yazd itself has grown from a small dusty town of 63,000 residents in 1956 to 330,000 people in 1996. This has introduced a number of problems for which planning solutions have been sought. The result has been a disturbing urban landscape that has gradually lost its physical and social cohesion and has translated, directly or indirectly, to the destruction of many of its older neighborhoods. In many Iranian cities, old neighborhoods gradually meet with misfortune and become the residence of migrants and immigrants. This has meant that some of Iran's most important vernacular architectural heritage has been placed in the hands of those who can least afford to maintain or repair it. This book explores the appearance and disappearance of Yazd's traditional neighborhoods and offers an alternative interpretation of urban history in this provincial city. The narrative begins with a brief history of Yazd and its transformation from the early Islamic period to the 19th century. However, a significant portion of the book focuses on the 19th and 20th centuries, when the emergence of nationalist discourse and the eventual display of modernity affected the urban landscape and its morphological patterns. The dialectical entanglement of identity and modernity produced an urban planning and design process that rearranged the cities and created new social geographies. The book narrates this metamorphosis from the Iranian Constitutional Revolution to the end of the 20th century with an interpretive spatial perspective. In the last section, the author provides an analysis of the contemporary social geography of Yazd and illustrates the end result of over 100 years of modernist urban planning and the emergence of a socially segregated and architectural incohesive urban landscape. This book is an ode to a fast-disappearing local culture and its urban representation and warns of the outcome of destroying the sense of place that has been eroded under the forces of modernization and imagined nations. With the destruction of the sense of local and planting of the sense of total, the meaning of historical neighborhoods is lost and the importance of monumental architecture is exaggerated. The book concludes with an illustration of how such a loss may have translated to apathy towards the maintenance of vemacular architecture, and as a result, the identity of most cities and their unique historical character is sacrificed.

Yazd City, the capital of Yazd province, is a historic city in Iran, which is located about 500 miles southeast of Tehran. In a Farsi source, the date of the foundation of this city is linked to the time of Alexander (c. 320 B.C.) as he ordered the construction of a prison in this location to keep Persian princes. Many features of the indigenous (or the clay) architecture are present in this province in their best forms and shapes (--sometimes it is referred to as the Yazd School of architecture ), such as clay castles, the Jam'a mosque, traditional houses, wind-catching towers (baadgeirs), baazaars, dome and arch by mud-bricks, koochehes ( narrow alleyways), ground, water reservoirs, and qanat irrigation system. Because of a modernization process in Iran from about 1950s, however, the clay architecture in Iran, as well as in Yazd, has been abandoned and historic buildings and structures have been demolished to be replaced by apartment complexes and by modern buildings made up of metal skeleton and concrete blocks. The present series seeks to collect images of the survived, architectural features in the historic cities of Iran before they are completely wiped out in a modernization process. Volume VII of this series, therefore, invites viewers to A Visual Journey To Yazd City for a review of the samples of the clay (or the indigenous) architecture in this historic city, which is in the process of being registered by UNESCO as a world's heritage site. Yazd City, the capital of the Yazd Province, is a historic city of Iran, which is in the process by being registered by the UNSCO as world's heritage city due to many unique, architectural features. The historic cities of Iran, founded centuries ago, host many features of the indigenous architecture of Iran. The indigenous ( or the clay) architecture of Iran is a unique architectural genre characterized by the use of mud-bricks as well as dome-like roofs for the ceilings. Traditional tiles and tile-works, furthermore, are used for the interior and exterior decorations of the buildings. Although there are many historic cities in Iran, seven of them are selected in this series. They include: Kermaan City, Kaashaan, Naaein (Naa-een), Shiraaz, Persepolis, Isfahaan City, and Yazd City. VolumeVI of this series covers main indigenous, architectural features in the historic city of Isfahaan. Many features of the indigenous (or clay) architecture are present in Yazd City, such as Yazd's Jam'a Mosque, (c. A.D. 15th century), baazaars, domes, vaulted ceilings, and arches by mud-bricks, and clay, koochehes (narrow alleyways), and the qanat irrigation system, and many wind-catching towers ( baadgeirs ) . Because of a modernization process in Iran from about 1950s, however, the clay architecture in Iran, as well as in Yazd City, has been abandoned and historic buildings and structures have been demolished to be replaced by apartment complexes and by modern buildings made up of metal skeleton and concrete blocks. The present series seeks to collect images of the survived, architectural features in the historic cities of Iran before they are completely wiped out in a modernization process. The revised edition of the Volume VII of this series (copyright 2021), invites viewers to A Visual Journey To Yazd City for a review of the samples of the clay ( or the indigenous) architecture in this historic city, which hosts rich samples of the clay architecture which is known as The Yazd School of the indigenous architecture of Iran.

The Middle Eastern bazaar is much more than a context for commerce: the studies in this book illustrate that markets, regardless of their location, scale, and permanency, have also played important cultural roles within their societies, reflecting historical evolution, industrial development, social and political conditions, urban morphology, and architectural functions. This interdisciplinary volume explores the dynamics of the bazaar with a number of case studies from Cairo, Damascus, Aleppo, Nablus, Bursa, Istanbul, Sana'a, Kabul, Tehran, and Yazd. Although they share some contextual and functional characteristics, each bazaar has its own unique and fascinating history, traditions, cultural practices, and structure. One of the most intriguing aspects revealed in this volume is the thread of continuity from past to present exhibited by the bazaar as a forum where a society meets and intermingles in the practice of goods exchange-a social and cultural ritual that is as old as human history.
