Abstract :

The configuration, functional, and economic changes of the housing sector over the past 100 years have been to a degree that has affected all aspects of the lives of Iranians, and it has always been a matter of principle for experts and even ordinary people, which factors are influencing these changes? This study seeks to investigate changes in the field of housing using a descriptive and analytical method in the form of documentary approaches. Given the main approach of the research, the required data have been collected using public censuses, central bank, and other official institutions and have been analyzed using general policy assessment, five-year plans, and political as well as social developments. The findings showed that in the past century, the housing sector in Iran, either in terms of changes in consumer goods and technology, or in terms of variety and number, as well as its position and function, has changed radically in the economic basket of households, while governments have not only failed to manage these developments, but instead of taking comprehensive plans, they have applied reactive and defective policies and made the problems more complicated.
