Rehabilitation projects are interventions that can lead to the transformation
of the socio-spatial structure of obsolescent neighborhoods. The main
intention of such projects is the creation and/or improvement of social
interactions after physical and functional interventions. Urban Renewal
Organization of Tehran (UROT) is tasked with identification of target
obsolescent neighborhoods, preparation of neighborhood development plans
and implementation of rehabilitation projects to improve the quality of space
and stimulate social interactions. In this paper, three urban spaces in different
scales (“micro” for neighborhoods, “meso” for local and “macro” for trans-
local scales), designed and implemented by UROT, were selected as a case
study. By designing and filling a questionnaire and after analyzing research
findings, the effect of the scale of the urban project on different activities was
evaluated based on the Gehl model. Overall, in the expanded model based on
the scale of space, an inverse ratio between the scale of space and both
optional selective and social activities has been revealed.&nbsp;JOURNAL OF CONTEMPORARY URBAN AFFAIRS (2022), 6(1), 59-68.
