The meetings also comprised a half-day study trip to Parand New Town, a New Town South of Tehran under construction for already a longer time than Hashtgerd New Town. The visit encompassed talks with the managing local NTDC officials including the managing director as well as central and local NTDC and BHRC experts. Parand New Town will be subject to in-depth investigations in the framework of the so called Analytical Grid to be applied to New Towns in Iran, and later in Europe and worldwide.
