Abstract

Due partly to neoliberal policies—especially in developing countries—and as a result of globalization, urban informality has become an indisputable part of urbanization since the 1970s. As a developing country, Iran has also dealt with the onset of this type of urbanism since the 1920s. The majority of global studies recognize the status of informal settlements and explain relevant approaches and actions. However, less emphasis is placed on informal reproduction factors; This study critically examines the factors that culminate in the reproduction of informality in Iran, namely the ominous triangle of power (government), the state economy, and knowledge-based on instrumental rationality (Technocracy) and its social, physical and environmental effects. This study seeks to evaluate the influential factors of urban informality in Iran with a critical and comprehensive view of the social, economic, political, physical dimensions and avoids an uni-dimensional tunnel vision. Findings show that the government policies and the economic sector monopoly play significant roles in the reproduction of poverty and informal settings in Iran. Furthermore, managerial and technical tools will act as government tools, the output of which manifests in its physical, social, and environmental factors.

伊朗城市非正式性的再生产:关键因素、工具和挑战
部分由于新自由主义政策——尤其是在发展中国家——以及全球化的结果,自20世纪70年代以来,城市非正式性已经成为城市化不可争辩的一部分。作为一个发展中国家,自20世纪20年代以来,伊朗也一直在应对这种类型的城市化。大多数全球性研究都承认非正式住区的地位,并解释了有关的办法和行动。但是,对非正式的再生产因素的重视程度较低;本研究批判性地考察了导致伊朗非正式性再生产的最终因素,即权力(政府)、国家经济和基于工具理性(技术官僚)的知识的不祥三角及其社会、物理和环境影响。本研究旨在评价伊朗城市非正式性的影响因素,对社会、经济、政治和物理方面具有批判性和全面的看法,避免单向度的狭窄视野。研究结果表明,政府政策和经济部门垄断在伊朗贫困和非正式环境的再生产中发挥了重要作用。此外,管理工具和技术工具将充当政府工具,其输出表现为其物理、社会和环境因素。
