In many cities around the world prosperous neighborhoods of yesterday become dilapidated Inner city neighborhoods of today. This is due to a work of abasement which creates dissatisfactory living conditions. This in turn devaluates the place and changes the societal construction and commences a round of physical dilapidation. For revival of such neighborhoods, different approaches have been recommended from total demolition and reconstruction to conservation and even social empowerment.
This report would review the dilapidation process in a centrally located neighborhood adjacent to Bazzar of Tehran and searches appropriate tackling strategy considering its characteristics which is a representative typology.A detailed and in depth study is conducted in Saboonpaz-khaneh neighborhood in Tehran, to enquire the dilapidation process and get out appropriate access to accomplish a socio-physically sustainable development solution for revitalization of the neighborhood. This previously centrally located residential neighborhood close to the old Fair and key business district is now housing the last stratum of blue collar workers and also serves as storage place for bazaar as good as accommodating illegal small workshops of the informal economic sector.The organic fabric, inadequacy of infrastructures, and other physical problems have caused continues depopulation and transfer of state use. Continuation of this movement would make an interior city ghetto in which alone the real pathetic and deprived population would be residing in. Despite these, a well conducted survey shows that the region is benefiting from high degree of social capital; however the roll of its different indices is different, the reasons of which are discussed in the paper. Here it seems that social capital could be exploited in place to discontinue the dilapidation process and to gain the place value, type of residents and land uses. Therefore a serial of strategies based on the use of present social capital is suggested.
