In the meantime, officials and bands within the regime have through building high-rises prevented the city from breathing; first by eradicating Tehran\u2019s northern gardens to make room for new buildings, and then by erecting tower blocks in gardens\u2019 places, thereby preventing airflow in the city.<\/p>\n<p>Excessively building tower blocks is one of the main problems in Tehran and Iran\u2019s other big cities so that in addition to Tehran\u2019s other issues, this one has now turned into a pollution stabilizing factor in the city.<\/p>\n<p>As it was seen in regime\u2019s so-called presidential debates, the issue was used by candidates as some sort of leverage used against rivals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s only a construction mayor\u201d, said Rouhani\u2019s first vice president \u2018Jahangiri\u2019, addressing Tehran mayor \u2018Ghalibaf\u2019 during regime\u2019s so-called presidential debates, adding \u201cHe\u2019s only issuing permits. Go see what damage the tower blocks erected in Tehran\u2019s 22nd district have done to the city.\u201d (Sham presidential debate, aired on state TV, April 28, 2017.)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo whom did you give permission to build such tall tower blocks?\u201d Rouhani addressing Ghalibaf during the same sham debate, adding \u201cyou authorized the same guy who plundered people\u2019s property and defalcated 3.8 billion dollars of people\u2019s money to build a 33-story tower, didn\u2019t you? On what basis are you giving building permissions for 20-story buildings to be built in 10-12 meters wide alleys?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Also regime\u2019s head of Environment Department \u2018Masoumeh Ebtekar\u2019 points to this same issue in an interview with state-run ILNA news agency, saying \u201cthere are real estate developers in Tehran who have no problem getting any building permit as they can offer lots of money, while this much construction is beyond Tehran\u2019s capacity. For instance, huge shopping malls have been built in Moghaddas-Ardebili Street and southern Niavaran Park; non-standard constructions that have turned the area into a battle field.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs long as selling density and building permit are municipalities\u2019 main sources of revenue, the crisis will continue\u201d, said Ebtekar amid a continued battle between regime\u2019s rival bands, adding \u201cthe policy of selling city will only lead to excessive construction, destruction of gardens, ecological imbalance, and population overflow.\u201d (State-run ILNA news agency, June 3, 2017)<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, a look at the number of Tehran\u2019s tower blocks and the way they\u2019ve been permitted to be built, reveals the depth of regime\u2019s plundering and rentiering. There are 987 tower blocks in Tehran at the moment. The number, however, was just 37 by 1981, with 733 new ones being added to Tehran\u2019s tower blocks by 2005 and yet another 208 added between 2005 and 2016. The interesting point is, however, that only 208 out of Tehran\u2019s 937 tower blocks have been authorized by regime\u2019s Article-5 Committee, while the others lack even municipality\u2019s construction completion certificate.<\/p>\n<p>According to regime\u2019s construction regulations, building taller than 12-story buildings needs to be authorized by Article-5, a Committee, whose members are Deputy Minister of Roads and Urban Construction, Deputy Minister of Agriculture Jihad, Deputy Minister of Power, Deputy Interior Minister, Deputy Head of Cultural Heritage Organization, Deputy Head of Environment Department, City Council Chair, and Tehran Mayor.<\/p>\n<p>The important question is, however, how it\u2019s possible that anyone can build tower blocks in Tehran without being authorized by regime\u2019s Article-5 committee, whose members are all high-ranking regime officials? This very same head of regime\u2019s Environment Department who\u2019s now too concerned about Tehran\u2019s tower blocks, has through all these years had someone at deputy level in Article-5 Committee, but now they\u2019re exposing each other in a clash of rival bands.<\/p>\n<p>Also in this regard, regime\u2019s Deputy House Speaker \u2018Ali Motahari\u2019 says \u201cthe institution called \u2018taskforce to implement Khomeini\u2019s orders\u2019 which is none governmental but under the direct order of Regime\u2019s leader, Ali Khamenei, has turned into an economic cartel, a tower block builder who is busy erecting high-rises here and there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s quite clear that it\u2019s not traffic, people\u2019s troubles, or environmental issues that matters for regime officials, but it\u2019s all about keep going with their plundering and predatory policies in which all regime officials are involved.. That\u2019s the only thing in every issue that matters to regime officials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Mahmoud Hakamian Geographically speaking, Tehran is located in a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides.
