Comparative study of economic activities in the creative regeneration of neighborhood centers in historical contexts

Considering the rapid process of urbanization and its effects on historical and dilapidated textures, more attention and care is felt in these textures. Therefore, in order to eliminate the created problems and inadequacies and to use the capacities hidden in them, the optimal solution of regeneration is used.In this research, creative urban regeneration policies are necessary due to the historicity of the center of the neighborhoods of most parts of the country, and it improves the process of preserving historical textures and prevents them from damage. If economic development solutions are not provided today to improve the economy of historical neighborhoods and revive them, in the near future these neighborhoods will become abandoned neighborhoods which will lose its values and become anti-values, as the experience of other countries also shows that not paying attention to this issue causes marginalization, loss of security and similar issues.That with appropriate planning and design, these issues can be prevented and these values can be preserved in these neighborhoods. For this reason, a set of case examples of successful urban creative regeneration in Iran has been collected, and a model for improving the structure of creative regeneration has been presented from the collection of these examples, and with the help of a descriptive comparative table, the extent to which these criteria have been achieved in the existing examples has been examined.

First, the course of development and the background and ideas of the topics related to the keywords such as urban regeneration and economic development will be studied and its features and indicators will be extracted and the implemented examples of investments in the historical context and existing patterns in the neighborhood and public spaces will be examined and the conceptual framework of the research will be presented.

Change and growth in our cities are happening very fast today. Some parts of the city have been able to adapt to these changes, but the historical neighborhoods, which are important parts and preserve the values and culture of the people and has the highest cultural and economic potential, have lagged behind these changes. In this research, an attempt has been made by examining different dimensions and aspects and studying the projects of different cities in Iran in order to fill the gap in the development of historical contexts, especially from an economic point of view, it has been possible to present a design model in line with economic-oriented creative regeneration. In order to achieve the research model, it has been tried to fill the gaps in the studies and researches of the researchers in this field to some extent and finally to obtain economic indicators and suitable solutions in line with the process of urban regeneration in historical neighborhoods.
