TEHRAN, May 12 (MNA) -- On Monday, the Tehran Municipality signed a contract worth 8 trillion rials (about $880 million) with the German company GMP to build a new international fairground, Tehran Mayor Mohammad-Baqer Qalibaf said on Wednesday.

According to the deal, the new international fairground will be built in three years in Shahr-e Aftab in south Tehran, he told reporters on the sidelines of a meeting with media directors.

Thats pretty cool... I simply saw a fairground in Tehran and I thought it looked very unsafe, guess if z Germans are constructing it, its gonna be decent :D

Can't wait to see renderings

I hope it will be nice and not a big box.

City plans to move book fair to south Tehran in three years

TEHRAN, May 17 (MNA) -- The Tehran Municipality recently began the first stage of the construction of the Shahr-e Aftab (Sun City) complex, where it plans to hold the Tehran International Book Fair upon completion, the Persian service of CHN reported on Wednesday.

Tehran Mayor Mohammad-Baqer Qalibaf said that the site is located south of Tehran, near the Behesht Zahra cementary. “The plans for phase one and two are prepared, and an agreement has been signed with the private sector to begin the work. The plan for phase three will start soon,” he explained.

He pointed out that moving the location of the book fair from the Chamran Highway is an important issue in Tehran, adding, “Due to the responsibilities I have had over the past six years, I have been closely involved in the problems caused by the book fair.” He said that the project will probably take three years to complete, noting, “I believe there is no better location for the fair at this point in time. I also think Tehran’s traffic problem during the book fair can be solved but requires accurate preplanning and referral to the views of experts.”

The 19th Tehran International Book Fair was held from May 3 to 13.

شهر آفتاب با 850 ميليارد تومان ساخته مي شود

ساخت شهر آفتاب با رقمي معادل 850 ميليارد تومان توسط بخش خصوصي آغاز مي شود. ساخت اين مکان در حاشيه مرقد امام سه سال طول مي کشد. شهردار تهران موضوع انتقال نمايشگاه کتاب را پيگيري مي کند
ميراث خبر _كتاب
گروه خبر: با مشخص شدن مشاور خارجي و انعقاد قراردادي معادل 850 ميليارد تومان با بخش خصوصي، مراحل ساخت شهر آفتاب بزودي آغاز مي شود. اتمام اين پروژه و انتقال نمايشگاه کتاب تهران به اين محل حداقل سه سال طول مي کشد.
به منظور ايجاد مکاني مناسب براي برگزاري نمايشگاه بين المللي کتاب تهران و رفع مشکلات برگزاري اين نمايشگاه در محل دائمي نمايشگاه هاي بين المللي تهران، شهرداري تهران مراحل اوليه ساخت شهرآفتاب را آغاز کرده و پيمانکار و مشاور پروژه را نيز انتخاب کرده است.
زمين شهرک در کنار مرقد امام خريداري شده است.
"محمدباقر قاليباف"، شهردار تهران در گفتگو با خبرنگار بخش کتاب ميراث خبر گفت:« شهرداري به عنوان متولي پروژه هاي شهري برنامه ريزي، ساخت شهرآفتاب براي برگزاري نمايشگاه را آغاز کرده و به طور جدي و هرچه سريعتر ساخته شدن اين شهر را در دستور کار خود قرار داده است. قرارداد خريد زمين شهرآفتاب در کنار مرقد امام منعقد شده و مشاوري خارجي براي اجراي اين پروژه دعوت شده است. نقشه فاز 1 و 2 اين شهر آماده شده و تفاهم نامه اي با بخش خصوصي معادل 850 ميليارد تومان منعقد شده تا کار اجرايي نقشه هاي فاز 1و2 آغاز شود. تهيه نقشه فاز 3 اين شهر نيز بزودي پايان مي گيرد.»
قاليباف درباره زمان آغاز مراحل اجرايي پروژه گفت:« ما خود را مکلف مي دانيم هرچه سريعتر کار ساخت را به صورت عملي هم آغاز کنيم و به احتمال زياد در چند روز آينده کار را استارت مي زنيم.»
شهردار تهران تغيير مکان برگزاري نمايشگاه بين المللي کتاب تهران را مساله اي مهم در کلان شهر تهران توصيف کرد و گفت:« شش سال است که به دليل مسئوليت هايي که داشته ام با مشکلات برگزاري نمايشگاه کتاب در محل فعلي از نزديک درگير هستم. هميشه دو ماه مانده به نمايشگاه معضلات برگزاري نمايشگاه در محل دائمي نمايشگاه بين المللي را بررسي مي کنيم و بعد که نمايشگاه برگزار شد تمام مسائل را فراموش مي کنيم تا سال بعد. من فقط شش سال با اين مساله درگير بوده ام درغير اين صورت اين مشکل نزديک يازده سال است، ادامه دارد.»
قاليباف در پاسخ به اين سوال که آيا امکان برگزاري بيستمين نمايشگاه بين المللي کتاب تهران در شهر آفتاب امکان دارد، گفت:« هرقولي بدهم بايد عمل کنم در نتيجه حرفي نمي زنم که از پس آن بر نيايم. من هيچ قولي نمي دهم که شهرآفتاب تا سال آينده آماده شود چراکه به اعتقاد ما ساخت اين شهر حداقل سه سال طول مي کشد اگر اين سه سال را تحمل کنيم با برنامه ريزي ها و زمينه سازي هاي مناسبي که در ساخت شهر آفتاب مد نظر قرار گرفته، مشکلات برگزاري نمايشگاه کتاب مرتفع مي شود.»
او همچنين در پاسخ به اين سوال که تا زمان آماده شدن شهرآفتاب، آيا شهرداري محل ديگري را براي برگزاري نمايشگاه مد نظر دارد، گفت:« با يقين کامل مي گويم تا آماده شدن شهرآفتاب هيچ محل ديگري براي برگزاري نمايشگاه کتاب تهران بهتر از نمايشگاه بين المللي وجود ندارد. امکان برگزاري نمايشگاه کتاب در هيچ مکان ديگري ميسر نيست اما من به عنوان کسي که در مديريت هاي مختلفي تجربه دارم در پاسخ به اين سوال که آيا نمي شود مسائل ترافيکي برگزاري نمايشگاه کتاب تهران در محل نمايشگاه بين المللي را حل کرد، مي گويم بله مي شود. مي توان با برنامه ريزي هاي دقيق تر و با نظر کارشناسان خبر مي توان اين مساله را ساماندهي کرد به شرطي که برنامه ريزي ها دوباره به ماه قبل از برگزاري نمايشگاه موکول نشود.»

wow, what happened, it seems that when it comes to naming....Iranian creativity is at an all time low. Anyway, nice lookin project.

bahal :)

It's very nice. But why so close to Khomeini's grave? So more people go there???

good goodd :applause:

It could really use some hotels or business centers of some kind. some tall buildings.

its funny.. the new airport is downn loww and so is this.. i think they want to move all the people away... but why?:s

not away, masalan mikhan bekeshan be taarafeh paayin

Perhaps because most of Tehran is over populated and the polloution has gotten to the point its shaving off 5 years of peoples life expectancy? lol

eh? okkk thenn

It's very nice. But why so close to Khomeini's grave? So more people go there???

hahaha :P

Khomeini's shrine is already very busy... (I have been btw) So I can't see what the laughing matter is Shayan.

I think space is the issue. and they dont need people to go there, there are already enough religious people in iran to go there anyways.

Indeed khomeinis grave is enough busy... I've been there, it's like a huge picknick.

There isn't really a choice as to where to build new things, north tehran is out of the question. Topography+Infrastructure of east tehran is not suitable, West Tehran is already busy enough all the way to Karaj. So IMHO this only makes sense. Ofcourse the fact that it is right next to his grave, is not a coincidence. ;) :lol:

But with developments such as these Tehran needs one or two PROPER RING roads instead of that Azadegan expressway which is rubbish.

^ Because of Tehran's seismic activity?? lol :P

Slightly outdated news but hey...

New Tehran fairgrounds construction launched

LONDON, January 22 (IranMania) - The first phase of the new Tehran International Fairgrounds was launched in Aftab City, near the Imam Khomeini Mausoleum, IRNA reported.

The new fairgrounds will be built on 140 hectares, at a cost of about 8,000 bln rials, with the participation of the private sector in two executive phases, ISNA reported.

It will contain 44,000 sq. m. of office space, 36,000 sq. m. of service space, 12,000 sq. m. of storage, parking space for 30,000 cars, a 5-star hotel with 350 rooms and an apartment-hotel with 360 units.

The fairground will be in harmony with Iranian-Islamic architecture.

At the launching ceremony, Tehran Mayor Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf promised that the first phase of fairgrounds, which will include a commercial center, four halls and a section of a hotel, will go on stream during the Ten-Day Dawn ceremony in 2009.

Stating that the new fairgrounds will have a capacity for 300,000 people, Qalibaf said, “The fairgrounds will meet all the exhibition needs of the city for the next 50 years. On the other hand, with the building of an amusement park and a 5-star hotel, it will become a suitable commercial-cultural center.“

The mayor also announced the inauguration of a tunnel simultaneous with the completion of the new fairgrounds.

^^Cooool :)

i know y they r doin this..the current theme park in tehran is located in north tehran (parkway) think!, so the land cost (2.5mT/$3000) per sqmeter, and it occupies at least 15000m. i heard its been closed down several time because of "safety reasons", they smply gonna knock it down and prob build several highrises...!

^Yeah I know that theme park... I've been there a couple of times and everytime I saw someone get injured... My friends have had similar experiences and the on-sight medics have what seems no training... Are they really knocking it down then?

I assume Shahr-e Aftab will be different...

“Shahr Aftab” Project to Be Broken into 6 Smaller Projects | Tehran Municipality (http://en.tehran.ir/Default.aspx?tabid=5215&ctl=Details&mid=22486&ItemID=104351)

Tehran mayor noted that every session held on Tehran’s problems will be welcomed by municipal officials who are sure to take part in them.

“We will take part in the cabinet sessions on traffic problems, but we hope the results of such sessions will benefit Tehran and its citizens,” he added.
SAMA also quoted Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf as saying that although Shahr Aftab (Sun City) project has not progressed as projected, but the reason was that the private investor has not been able to speed up the project due to its huge financial dimensions which amount to about 2,000 billion tomans.
“Therefore, we have sent a bill to Tehran Islamic City Council to break down this project into six smaller ones, so that, private investors will be more at ease for implementing them,” he added.

You mentioned 2000 Billion Toman which mounts to exactly $2 billion (todays currency is 1000 Toman = $1). The title of this thread is "$880M Shahr Aftab Fairground". So WHat has happened NOW?!?!
