Abstract :

This paper examines the process the urban management of Qazvin during the Qajar period. The study, based on the main sources of this period, has shown how the modern urban management was rebuilt, based on the order inherited from the past, but failed to achieve significant success because of the lack of social morals between the people. From the Constitutional Revolution to the time of the coup of 1921, there was not any significant achievement too. From the coup to the extinction of the Qajar dynasty, efforts were made to create a new order in Qazvin's social and urban management, which seemed remarkable in comparison to the past. The purpose of the article is to show that modern urban management is a topic that is meaningful in relation to social ethics and other new civilization institutions. The main question of the article is why, with the description of the efforts of the Qazvin city managers, the achievements of this issue were not significant?
