With the arrival of modernity in Iran, the concept of the "city" as we understand it today was born, undergoing significant transformations that have continued to evolve over time. These transformations in the physical structure of the city have created multifaceted challenges in three primary dimensions: housing, urban facilities, and transportation. This research, adopting a thematic approach to these challenges and aiming to provide valuable insights for social policymakers and urban planners, employs a descriptive-analytical method. It leverages existing data from documentary resources to explore opportunities for land use change in the process of redeveloping urban fabrics. The study delves deeply into the role of urban transformation in enhancing the quality of life and improving the efficiency of urban spaces. By investigating urban fabrics as crucial components in the redevelopment process, the research analyzes the various factors influencing land use change. Through detailed case studies, the article identifies existing opportunities for the improvement and modification of land uses within urban fabrics, offering practical solutions for optimizing these processes. The ultimate goal of this study is to propose comprehensive strategies for the optimal utilization of urban resources, thereby significantly enhancing the quality of life in urban environments. This study aims to provide a thorough understanding of the dynamics at play in urban redevelopment and to offer actionable recommendations for policymakers and urban planners to create more livable, efficient, and sustainable urban spaces.
