The Need to Establish This Laboratory

The relationship between the issue of urban form and areas such as resilience, justice, tourism, public health, energy, climate change and economics has been explained by numerous global studies. Each of these areas is a broad theoretical and practical context that can be studied in a specific way and ultimately lead to improving the quality of cities. The study of the theoretical and practical field of urban morphology in Iran shows that the researchers conducted in this field both in the field of knowledge production (in the form of translation and writing of books, instructions, etc.) and in the field of research Applications are underdeveloped and researches are fragmented and incoherent. Therefore, this laboratory intends to help the contribution to the knowledge and richness in this field by conducting research studies, and then by producing appropriate software and hardware, help users for analyzing and doing their researches. At the same time, many of the aforementioned areas that are affected by the urban form, such as health, tourism, energy, etc., are good subject areas for launching urban startups. This laboratory intends to take a special look at explaining the impact of the Iranian startup ecosystem on the formation of startups in this field and to develop a roadmap, and finally to bring a sample of ideas and realize it.
