Parand (Persian: پرند) is a planned city[5] in the Central District of Robat Karim County, Tehran province, Iran. Its toponym means "natural silk".
History
[edit | edit source]The city is intended to provide residences for the staff of Imam Khomeini International Airport, and to create a balance in the settlement pattern of Tehran, establish an appropriate environment to draw in the extra population of Tehran and offer an alternative to unsystematic settlements. Parand is expected to accommodate 483,000 people on 3,420 hectares of land.[3]
The plan was a well-planned city which responds to the community's needs. It aims to host low-income families (laborers’ and employees’ housing cooperatives) by providing low-priced residential units with bank loans thereby attracting various classes of people. In 2019, the city has not yet attained those goals.[citation needed]
On 8 January 2020 Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 crashed approximately 15 kilometres north-east of the city shortly after takeoff from nearby Tehran Imam Khomeini International Airport, killing all 176 people on board.[6] A video of a missile hitting the plane was recorded from the city.[7][8][9]
In 2023, it was estimated that Parand will have 11 phases in the future, six of which are operating.
