Artificial Intelligence with Human Intelligence: Empowering the Historical Lalehzar Neighborhood with

This research investigates the technological capacities in the regeneration and empowerment of historical neighborhoods, focusing on the Lalehzar district in Tehran. By integrating information and communication technology (ICT) and artificial intelligence (AI) within data-driven solutions, the study examines the role of social participation and collective memory in redefining urban identity. Lalehzar, once a center of modernism, art, and technology, now faces challenges such as demographic decline, physical decay, and cultural disintegration. This study, employing a qualitative and project-based approach, has been conducted in three stages: the development of a participatory vision involving urban stakeholders, ۳D modeling based on creative scenarios, and Delphi analysis to assess the feasibility of the proposed actions. The findings indicate that the intelligent use of ICT can provide new platforms for social interaction, strengthen local narratives, and attract human capital. Emphasizing "collective intelligence" alongside artificial intelligence serves as a key strategy for ensuring the sustainability of empowerment processes and utilizing local capacities toward the achievement of sustainable cultural and economic development.
