The Formation and Development Process of the Historic City of Mashhad and the Study of the Nawab Safavi Historical Fabric

Neighborhoods and historical fabrics are an inseparable component of Iranian architecture, which undergo transformations over time with urban expansion. These transformations are frequently faced neglect and disregard for architectural heritage. The Nawab historical fabric of Mashhad is no exception; with the expansion of the master plan around the Holy Shrine, most valuable Qajar and Pahlavi-era neighborhoods have been demolished. Historical fabrics are considered as a valuable ancient monument of any society; however, due to the non-materialization of their value to the public, there is little motivation for their preservation. The aim of the present research is to identify the neighborhoods and the historical fabric of Nawab, which may serve as an incentive for future generations to make greater efforts in maintaining and preserving this valuable fabric. using a descriptive research method, the data obtained from library and field studies were analyzed and described.
