Incorporation of governmental sites to the public spaces in the city

The urban landscape is the main influential factor in the citizens’ mindset about a city. Communal spaces are the most significant subsidiaries of the urban landscape as a basis for the formation of citizen's collective memories, and almost all the criteria which qualify the urban life are visible in these spaces.
In this paper, the lack of public and collective spaces in the dense areas of Tehran’s center has been emphasized. Then according to the principles of infill development, the suitable land use for endogenous development will be discussed. In the end, the area of administrative offices placed in the central contexture of Tehran is examined as an option based on endogenous development for infill development projects and shifting to semi-public space. Ownership, incompatibility in the usage of contiguous lands, and management practices in semi-public space are explored as three outstanding issues. In this research, descriptive and analytic methods and also library studies have been used.
