Abstract
Abstract
The article discusses the significant transformations in urban development that occurred in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, leading to the emergence of "urban regeneration" as a response to uncontrolled development and a focus on economic growth. This approach emphasizes community participation and integrates economic, social, environmental, and cultural dimensions, evolving into the concept of "sustainable urban regeneration." The historic Sahib al-Amr district and Shotorban Bazaar in Tabriz is highlighted as an area in need of regeneration due to its cultural value but current physical deterioration, social decline, and economic challenges.
The study aims to identify and prioritize strategies for regenerating this district using a mixed-methods research design, including SWOT analysis and the Analytic Network Process (ANP) model. Key findings suggest that successful regeneration requires strategies that strengthen the area's historical identity, enhance tourism, organize urban spaces, and promote public participation. The top priority identified is "Strengthening the Historical and Cultural Identity of the Urban Fabric," followed by enhancing tourism experiences, organizing urban spaces, and promoting community awareness and participation. The study emphasizes the need for a comprehensive approach that addresses various aspects of sustainability for effective urban regeneration.
