Southern Coast of the Caspian Sea

>>>back to working groups overview

Area	Southern Coast of the Caspian Sea, Iran
Place	Coastal Boulevard of Anzali Harbor
Country	Iran
Topics	Psychological Security
Author(s)	Mohamadreza, Negar, Amirhossein, Haniyeh

Rationale

What make the Coastal Boulevard (promenade) of Anzali[1] Port interesting to work as case study are its history, high use status by public and convenient accessibility from downtown for visitors of this coastal town to relax and enjoy the landscape. Unfortunately, despite all these significant positive aspects, lack of proper psychological security from the various points of views is highly perceived for this recreational built landscape!
