Is the concern about "housing price" or "municipal income"?
What is the behind-the-scenes opposition of Tehran's municipal managers to the "Government Council's decision to ban additional density sales"?
City Council members' wing on "Demographic regulation of Tehran and Alborez with an available water factor".
Expect the housing market:
1 This morning, the secretary of the Supreme Council for Urban Planning and Architecture of the country was a guest of the Tehran City Council to shed light on "the great misunderstanding of some people about the decision of the Tehran-Valborez Board of Directors".
2 About a month ago, the government committee approved the early approval of the Supreme Council for City Planning:
"It is forbidden to give building permits in Tehran and Karaj with specifications (grades) beyond the ceiling and the framework of the city's detailed plan, and building licensing agents are forbidden to change the designation of garden lands."
3 However, during this period, this decision was criticized by some economic experts aligned with the "current era of urban management".
4 The argument of the opponents of the Government Council's decision, which naturally declared "exceeding the red line of Tehran's detailed plan" as impermissible, revolves around the axis of "stimulating housing prices by banning high-density sales."
5 Meanwhile, the municipalities' adherence to the "detailed city plan" does not usually require the approval of the government committee, since within the urban development regulations, the detailed plan is the upstream document of the city administration.
6 However, those who oppose this decision, while deviating from the principle of the approval letter of the Government Council,
"Prohibition of selling density that exceeds the permitted limit of the detailed plan" is interpreted as "a ban on any type of construction in Tehran".
7 Defenders of the status quo try to cast doubt on such a claim.
8 However, the secretary of the Supreme Council for Urban Development, Golmarza Kazmian, explained this morning in the council hall that "construction is not prohibited, but the loading of buildings and population beyond the detailed plan is prohibited. However, Tehran's construction loading capacity still has more than a million people up to the ceiling of the detailed plan, and there is no problem for housing production.
The problem is the "limitation of municipal income" solution.
9 Some of the criticisms and objections of some of the city managers and their experts can be seen as a result of an issue that a member of the city council spoke about this morning.
