SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The area of the pit is equal to 860000 m2 The average depth of the pit is 50-70 meters TAGS: Landscape, Urban threat, Zotopia, Tourism zone RESEARCH ABSTRACT: 4 sand mines with more than 50 years of experience were previously located in the suburbs. But over the years, with the expansion of residential space, these mines are located in Tehran. These abandoned mines have caused air pollution. The Kan River is located near these pits. The flooding of this river is a constant concern for the city. The river route can be strengthened and used as an opportunity to create a promenade for Tehran. The present study is a descriptive-analytic CHALLENGE: A pit whith the average depth of 50-70 m Possibility of Kan River flooding. A dencity urban context characterised by a general lack of greenspaces. Merge or partnership with a pri - vate sector (sand mines) as urban decision makers have no interest in intervening in the matter because of the complexity in ownership of the area. Creating attractive functions and urban, regional and trans-regional access and turning it into a tourist attraction for Iran.
