According to Tejarat News, quoted by FarsConstruction permits have been issued for 20,000 residential units in Tehran, and another 20,000 construction permits are expected to be issued within the next month.

Tehran Municipality has decided to take measures to solve the housing problem in Tehran. Tehran Municipality is not supposed to produce housing, but it is supposed to remove the existing obstacles on the way of production.

The renewal of worn out tissue has been neglected in the past years and there are serious delays in this sector. It is supposed that part of the housing will be built in the old context. Tehran Municipality has considered incentive packages for the renovation of worn-out structures so that the owners are encouraged to renovate.

There are a number of inefficient and abandoned lands in the city that the municipality can use for the production of housing. Another measure that the Tehran municipality has on its agenda is the production of about three thousand residential units for rent.

The leasing organization has been established under the Tehran City Renewal Organization and these residential units are supposed to be built and placed at the disposal of the leasing organization to provide them to young couples, although the construction of these units will take about two to three years.

Also, in this course, the description of the services and missions of the facilitation offices is supposed to go from social and theoretical issues to the discussion of implementation, and also all the offices have the necessary agility to accompany the renovation organization in fulfilling the missions of the Jihadist housing camp.

Regarding the latest state of renovation of worn-out fabric, serious delays in the field of renovation, production of housing for rent, inefficient and abandoned land, construction of 180 thousand residential units and removal of municipal obstacles, we had a conversation with Seyed Mehdi Hedayat, head of the Tehran City Renewal Organization.

One of the main problems in the metropolis of Tehran during the past periods has been the dilapidated fabric, what plan do you have for the renovation of the dilapidated fabric in this period, please explain about this.

We follow up the issues in a special way in the Tehran City Renewal Organization. One of the important issues is the worn texture section. Of course, empowerment of neighborhoods, creation of housing support services, etc. are other measures. Definitely, good things will happen in the discussion of the renovation of the worn-out tissue during the planning.

New incentives for renovating dilapidated fabric such as an additional floor/incentive packages can boost construction.

We have new incentives for the renovation of the worn-out fabric, which we have received from the Article 5 Commission, and the rest of the stages are supposed to be completed. This package is an incentive for the residents of the dilapidated area and investors, and if we implement this package, good actions will be taken. For example, one of the encouraging measures is to give an additional floor in the worn texture, although it is a general package and other issues are also seen in it.

I emphasize that the municipality does not intend to build housing, but we remove obstacles and help in cases where it is needed.

For example, where there is land, we provide conditions for construction. We also have inefficient lands in regions 18 and 19, which we will remove the obstacles to their construction so that we can solve the problems of the citizens by producing housing in the capital. Things are going well in the housing camp.

Part of the 180,000 residential units are built in dilapidated contexts, and of course I would like to say that these houses are distributed among the regions of Tehran and each region knows what to do.

At what stage is the work and how many residential units have been built in the capital so far?
