Iran is witnessing rapid growth of innovation centers and technology parks, shifting toward open, interactive, and urban-integrated models. Without careful planning, these developments risk social fragmentation or physical incoherence. Properly designed, however, they can create meaningful connections between innovation and urban life, enhancing cities’ sustainability and livability.

Through typologies, design requirements, social sustainability, accessibility, and urban regeneration, the book addresses key questions for planners and designers. It highlights international examples alongside the Sharif Innovation Zone as a successful local model. The final chapter explores future trends in technology parks and innovative architecture, offering a clear vision for the future of innovation infrastructure in Iran.
