Abstract :

Nowadays, urban development requires approaches that can overcome various urban problems and changes the abandoned and useless areas which consist of high values and make a significant part of the city into the most dynamic spaces. The case study of this research is three neighborhoods of zone 16 neighboring with the Fadaiyan Islam Axis of Tehran that consist of vast Brownfield and located in the Trade World Zone which can turn this area into a valuable asset for the city of Tehran. After identifying all three neighborhoods and their Brownfield, these neighborhoods were prioritized by sustainable urban regeneration criteria using the ARAS technique. The results indicate that Shahid Besat neighborhood with a desirable rating of 993/0 ranked first, the southern Aliabad neighborhood with a desirable rating of 533/0 ranked second, and the Azeri garden neighborhood with a desirable rating of 264/0 ranked third for sustainable urban regeneration. Finally, Urban Catalyst strategy has proposed which is a tool within the urban regeneration strategy to overcome the challenges of Brownfield Regeneration in their purification and redevelopment.
