Abstract
Recently a number of studies have focused on urban sprawl in the Iranian
cities and the negative impacts of such development pattern. Although in a
general view the phrase “urban sprawl” is used for fast and sometimes
uncontrolled urbanizations, but there are dissimilarities between the urban
sprawl in the western societies with the so-called Iranian urban sprawl. This
paper discusses these differences as part of five main aspects that are
mentioned in the internationally recognized urban sprawl definitions.
Suburban sprawl, single-use developments/zoning, disconnected street network,
low accessibility of the new developments, and commercial strip development
are the aspects that are descriptively discussed as the main differences
between the two types of sprawl. The main point of the discussion is that due
to the wide range of similarities, which are briefly introduced, the type of
the fast outward urban growth that is observed in the periphery of the
Iranian cities can be defined as a part of the universal urban sprawl trend.
Finally a definition is suggested for explaining urban sprawl in Iran.
