Description
Tehran’s Borderlines offers a comprehensive examination of urban development and public life in contemporary Iran’s capital city. Jaleh Jalili investigates how physical, social, and political boundaries within Tehran influence the everyday experiences of its residents and shape patterns of public engagement.
Through detailed ethnographic research and urban analysis, the book explores the relationship between urban infrastructure, neighborhood development, and civic participation. Jalili demonstrates how Tehran’s complex geography—marked by class divisions, developmental disparities, and spatial inequalities—creates distinct borderlines that affect social cohesion and public life.
This scholarly work provides valuable insights into how contemporary Middle Eastern cities develop and how urbanization impacts community formation and social dynamics. It contributes to broader conversations about urban planning, public space, and social inequality in non-Western contexts.
