Entrance to the new city of Sahand (eastern entrance)

Urban entrances or gates are among the urban spaces that have the greatest impact on citizens and travelers in terms of meaning and legibility. Entering the city is done both mentally and objectively. In the past, one of the most important spaces with urban identity in our country was the entrance to cities, but today, due to the expansion of the city and urbanization and the presentation of inappropriate urban plans, the entrance to most new cities has been foreseen without any special and specific design, and on the other hand, the concept of passing through an external space and the "gate" of the old entrance to cities has also been destroyed over time. In the direct intervention area, an area of ​​40 hectares has been selected to design the entrance gate of Sahand city, which is the second access road from Tabriz to Sahand city. This route is the only one that directly connects Sahand to Tabriz from the southwest and its length is about 300 meters. Commercial, residential, educational, higher education, medical, cultural… uses have been defined within this study area.
