Non-active defense in urban development

Non-active defense in urban development

My study is based on the new ecological crises and the dramatic increase in the world's population and the irreparable damage to the planet as a result of unstudied constructions in metropolitan areas and the new topic of renewability and green architecture and lifestyle changes due to medical issues. I summarized social, economic, installation, traffic, cultural, environmental, architectural, urban design, and the definition of a utopia.

Title: Complexity Theory in the Political Geography and Urban Experience of Countries Surrounding the Rimland and the Iranian Plateau: Integrating Urban Development with Active and Passive Defense

This study explores the urban development dynamics of countries surrounding the Rimland and the Iranian Plateau through the lens of complexity theory, emphasizing political geography and national experiences. Grounded in the context of escalating ecological crises, rapid global population growth, and the environmental degradation caused by unregulated urban expansion, the research investigates the integration of green architecture, sustainability, and health-driven lifestyle shifts into contemporary urban planning. It further addresses the interplay of active and passive defense considerations in urban design. The study presents a multidimensional framework—encompassing social, economic, infrastructural, traffic, cultural, environmental, architectural, and urban design perspectives—aiming to redefine the concept of a modern utopia within a resilient and regenerative urban future.
