1999: Beaverstock et al. introduced alpha, beta and gamma roster of world cities, which relates to Sassen’s work

2004; Alderson and Beckfield consider the global network not only among the powerful world cities, but also many incoming ones from less powerful cities.

Conclusion

- Iran has geopolitical situation in the region- In IFS system Iran is one of the main powers and its connection to the world

economic institutions is one of the biggest.- Tehran is one of the earliest city which shifted from tradition to Modernity, its

peole, culture and even city planning have been always - toward being more modern and be related to the global network.

BUT

- Tehran has witnessed increasing sanctions during the recent years.- Its impermanent and changeable political situation make it hard to predict the future of the city, since many of previous planning -became inutile because of the

political and ideological changes.

Future spatial strategic planning of Tehran needs to be flexible enough to be able to survive itself even in worst situation.

60 Future Strategy; Different senarios

Different Scenario

- If Tehran is going to be closer with more sanction and limitations

- If the political situation of Tehran is going to be changed and the same as before it is going to use its high potentialities in getting more connected to global network

Conclusion: A gradually planning which prepare the ground for future big aims will be needed to be able to answer two different situations
