Iranian Urbanization
edited by Alessandro Coppola and Arman Fadaei
The scientific journal QU3 – iQuaderni di UrbanisticaTre (issn 2531-7091) is looking for a Photographic project to complement its issue no.17, edited by Alessandro Coppola and Arman Fadaei, Iranian Urbanization.
1. Subject of the Photographic project:
For the new issue on Iranian cities, we are looking for photo contributions that would accompany a set of selected articles. The focus of the issue is on different aspects of Iranian urbanization under rapid and continuous socio-economic alterations in past several decades. However, the images should be supposedly representative of Iranian cities in a broader way. They could portray urbanization processes, territory, infrastructure, housing projects and urban societies as an overarching term. QU3 is looking for professional photos, stories, collections, photomontages, etc. that could fit this issue.
