Cultural Comparisons of Public Space, with a Focus on the Streetscape of Tehran Mirghaderi, Leilasadat; 0000-0002-7045-7271 Weidemann, Sue Architecture architecture M.Arch. Public space by itself does not create a community; rather, a community is built by people who participate in community-building activities. Despite being the capital city of Iran with so many public and semipublic spaces such as parks, restaurants, cafés and shopping malls, Tehran is still missing a dynamic and active public space. The current public spaces of Tehran suffer from dysfunctionality of features and lack of interaction among users which makes them uninviting for the younger generation. In this age of communication and interaction, young adults are looking for new experiences and they are eager to expand their social circle. Despite the rapid changes in social trends over the last few decades, there haven’t been any significant changes in the design of public spaces of Tehran. This study will try to address this issue by providing recommendations for a public space that could improve opportunities for young adults to interact with one another more easily. 2018-06-28T20:34:26Z 2018-06-28T20:34:26Z 2018 2018-05-18 12:08:41 Text Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10477/78127 eng Users of works found in University at Buffalo Institutional Repository (UBIR) are responsible for identifying and contacting the copyright owner for permission to reuse.
