According to Fars news agency, Alireza Zakani, the mayor of Tehran last night in the first line program of Khabar network, referring to the holding of the international conference on investment opportunities, said: “The issue of investment is very serious and Tehran has many fields that can attract investors.” As an investor, turn it into a productive complex where the investor gets his profit and the people benefit and the city develops.
He added: This beginning has no end, and no conclusion has been considered for this conference. Six working groups have been formed and specialized meetings are being held, and tomorrow, July 16, a field visit to the projects will be conducted.

He also stated: The functions and conditions for domestic and foreign investors to do their work with confidence have been provided, and this is a prelude to our great works.
We are looking for micro capitals
Saying that our problem in Tehran is the problem of resources, Zakani reminded: There is no scientific and practical problem for people who want to enter the field, but the main bottleneck is the resources. When the city management based on the needs and opportunities of the city announces its plans and follows up on the provision of financial resources, one can witness seriousness in this field in the future.
He added: Investors are very interested in investing. We follow a model to attract small capital so that we have people’s capital in partnerships and profits and facilities are shared among all.
We analyzed past projects to solve problems
Referring to the pathologies that have occurred, Zakani noted: 49 collaborative projects that have been carried out in the past have been examined. If there was no pathology, there was no way for the future. Of the pathologies made, only one plan had a problem.
The mayor of Tehran stated that we held meetings with the elites, regulatory bodies including the Central Bank, the General Inspection Organization and the private sector, and reminded: After these meetings, the challenges and bottlenecks were identified and we took a path that To keep the investors in our hands, not to knock the investors down.
In another part of his speech, he mentioned the exhibition of sister cities and the capabilities of Tehran’s urban management and added: 9 million and 800 thousand people live in Tehran, and we have 3 million people moving around. The total population of Tehran reaches 13 million people. We follow a series of measures and horizons in this direction. In this exhibition, a context was provided for actions to be taken and future horizons to be depicted.
Stating that Tehran has sisterhood relations with 20 cities, Zakani said: We need to learn and we have achievements that we need to teach. The metropolis of Tehran has features that some visitors are amazed by. The exhibition has provided an opportunity to present the assets and achievements to the people, and also to use the assets of others and not to go the way that others have gone and it was accompanied by mistakes.
People should feel the change in the city
He emphasized: Peace, comfort, security, well-being and material and spiritual development of the city is our goal and all actions should lead to a place where city management serves the citizens so that people can feel the change and transformation with all their heart. We have been working in the municipality for 10 months and four days, and preparations were made during this time to make a big leap in the future.
The city sale that was done in the past is a bitter experience
The mayor of the capital stated that selling the city and selling density was done in the past and it was a bitter experience and said: This issue is a serious obstacle to the progress of the city. The basis of financial resources is based on two axes, which include attracting the participation of the private sector and defining the conditions for the satisfaction of the parties and the public, as well as creating the basis for the productivity of the city.
He continued: Article 5 commission has legal authority regarding the detailed plan. In this commission, 72 cases were raised last year, which is now active, and 35 cases are raised every week, and we are following the two-month work of a year.
By changing the zone, we make the stagnant environment in the city dynamic
Saying that in the past there was a discussion about a license plate, Zakani noted: We are currently considering the rights of the people and we will also put the change of the zone on the agenda. We follow 17 cases of zone changes that transform the stagnant environment in the city into a dynamic and lively one. One decision of this kind can be as effective as 500 decisions, which revives the city and is considered productive.
Permission to build one more floor in the worn-out fabric
Referring to the existence of four thousand and 560 hectares of worn-out fabric in Tehran, he clarified: In the detailed plan of this matter, it is included that there is no permission to build more than three floors. Discussions were followed in the commission and one floor was added to the floors, which can create a transformation in the worn texture.
The mayor of Tehran stated that in the previous period they borrowed money for three months to pay salaries, and reminded: Fortunately, we did not have any loans to pay salaries and we formed working groups to go towards investment.
Zakani pointed to the issue of the sale of the bus building and added: “In the last 20 days of the previous year, we made extra efforts.” 93% of the financial resources were provided in the previous year, which was more than 70% the year before, and we were able to receive this amount of resources without receiving any amount from the banks.
100 billion Tomans are saved monthly from resources in the city
Referring to the decline of one or two months at the beginning of the year, he reminded: We considered part of the previous year’s resources for this year, and the issue raised by the council member was wrong. 100 billion tomans of resources are saved in the city every month. We made the purchases through the stock exchange, and based on this, cement is purchased 30% cheaper and rebar 40% cheaper. I did not expect the member of the Council to speak so ignorantly.
Tehran has 12 thousand hectares of unstable texture
The mayor of Tehran stated that the amount of unstable tissue in Tehran is 12,000 hectares and said: “There are 4,560 hectares of worn-out tissue in this tissue.”
He also clarified: We have put several neighborhoods on the agenda this year. Sometimes localities suffer from wear and tear and need to be rehabilitated. Today, we are working on various neighborhoods that will be discussed in the Article Five Commission and an urban renewal based on these neighborhoods will be created. Five or six cases were discussed in the commission last week. A large part of this tissue goes back to the southeast and west of Tehran and we see a serious wear and tear in this part, which we hope to reduce the distance between north and south with this measure.
Memorandum of understanding between the municipality and the stock exchange organization for the purpose of clarification
Zakani pointed to the memorandum of understanding between the municipality and the Securities and Exchange Organization and said: We are looking to act transparently and we believe that we can have optimal and correct purchases and transparent supply, which is possible in the stock market. We tried to discuss the issue of housing and municipal facilities in the stock market, and we entered into negotiations with the stock market in this regard, and before the beginning of the new year, we made purchases from the stock market in the cement and rebar section.
He added: “Instead of buying from intermediaries, and in order to be able to follow the purchase with continuity and transparency, we started buying on the stock exchange.” There were some problems that took a long time to resolve, and fortunately, the conditions were prepared and the plan was approved today. The type of our dealings with contractors will be different in this memorandum. We will provide a receipt to the contractors that will be reliable in the stock market and our dealings with them will be transparent.
Evolution in the municipal legal field
Regarding the numerous municipal cases in the public courts, the mayor of Tehran said: We transformed the legal center of the municipality and a group of experts and concerned people became active. I emphasized that the person who complains about us and has rights should be paid, and the person who violates a right and destroys the people’s rights should be dealt with. 16 thousand billion tomans of votes have been issued in favor of the municipality so far, and if it was not followed up, this opportunity would be lost from the municipality and it would wrongly belong to other people.
Preventing the purchase of property with a fake document in the west of the capital with the vigilance of the legal center
He pointed to the forgery of a 5,000-meter deed in west Tehran and the action of some people to sell this land to the municipality and added: There have been cases where the municipality has bought a property three times in the past. The Legal Center of Tehran Municipality intervened in this regard and prevented the sale of the 5,000-meter property.
Solving the traffic problem with short, medium and long term measures
In another part of the first-line program to solve the traffic problem in Tehran, he said: We have considered short-term, medium-term and long-term measures to solve this problem. In the short-term sector, we are in the direction of buying and renovating buses and taxis, and by changing 210 bus lines and buying two thousand buses and increasing the number of buses in the city to five thousand, we are looking for action in the short-term sector.
operation of the largest station complex in West Asia; Next Week
Stating that we are trying to complete seven metro lines with 70 thousand billion tomans of credit, Zakani noted: We will also pursue lines 8 to 11 with 230 thousand billion tomans. We believe that Tehran should become a construction workshop. This year, 12 stations will be reopened, and the largest station complex in West Asia will be put into operation next week in Ekbatan, with an area of seven hectares, and these measures are in the medium term.
He pointed to the development of public transportation around 325 metro stations in the city and added: In the field of traffic relief, identity creation, Iranian-Islamic architecture and such things are of interest to us in our long-term plans, and in this field, parcels around Stations are provided. We are looking to link patterns and provide integrated services in this field.
Signing the contract for the construction of metro line 11 with Mapna
The mayor of Tehran stated that Mapna company cooperates with the municipality in metro lines and said: A joint working group was formed with this company and a six-hour visit was made to this company two weeks ago, and we will conclude the contract for line 11 with this company. There are capabilities in our country that can highlight the cycle of science and technology and knowledge base.
300 thousand billion tomans credit for completion of metro lines based on production
He added: 300,000 billion tomans credit for the completion of metro lines will be based on sustainable production to solve the problem of traffic, air pollution and surrounding problems and provide peace and comfort to the people.
Zakani stated that three stations in Haft area with a radius of 800 meters will be proposed in the Article Five Commission, and noted: We are looking to open a few stations of Haft line based on the development of the city based on station complexes.
Regarding the delivery of 2,225 buses to the municipality at the beginning of his tenure in the municipality, he said: 175 buses were purchased and some were renovated. This year, 3,350 vehicles will be added to the bus fleet through renovation and reconstruction, which is a renovation with the participation of the government. 2,500 buses will also be renovated, and in this regard, 190 buses have returned to the cycle.
The purchase of second-hand buses is by the private sector
The mayor of Tehran stated that second-hand foreign buses are used up to five years, and stated: Our priority is domestically produced buses, but measures are taken based on needs. People can’t wait. The purchase of these buses belongs to the private sector and is not related to the municipality, and the people who have addressed this issue in the media have spoken about their wish.
Reducing the time for issuing a license from 12 months to 2-5 months
He stated that the time for issuing a permit has been reduced from 365 days to two to five months without eliminating the processes, and clarified that this time reduction is related to the construction permit, which is two months in some areas and up to five months in some areas. We achieved some successes, but we are not satisfied, and we are following the measures in the Article Seven Commission and discussion to reduce the time.
Good housing news is coming for the residents of the capital
Declaring that Tehran lacks one million housing units, Zakani said: Two thousand and 818 hectares of worn-out and stagnant fabric of the city have been identified so that housing can be loaded there, and we will have good news for the people in this regard this year.
