Analysis of Historical Factors Affecting the Morphology of Old Urban Fabric of Ardabil from 1921 to 1961
Abstract:   (2157 Views)
Each city has a unique geographical fabric which results from political,
economic and historical processes as well as social functions and the
dominant ideology in the society. There are different attitudes in the sciences
related to cities, among which morphological attitude stands out. Based on
this attitude, the present study deals with the historical factors affecting the
old urban fabric of Ardabil between 1921 and 1961. The results of this
research demonstrate that the most interferences and the most effective
changes have taken place in the old urban fabric of Iranian cities during this
period. In Ardabil, the formation of the municipality (Baladiyeh), destruction
of Narin Qaleh, construction of streets, presence of modern urban elements
such as cinemas and banks, and occupation of the city by Russians and
Azerbaijani Democratic Party has changed the old urban fabric of the city
significantly. Therefore, we conclude that the linear street elements and the
point elements with different functions in local districts to larger areas have
had the most effect on the bazaar and six main districts of the city, which
have led to a break up between the bazaar and the districts and intermingling
of urban functions
