A STRATEGIC EXAMINATION OF THE SUBURBANIZATION (MARGINALIZATION) CRISIS IN THE METROPOLIS OF TABRIZ
The issue of suburbanization (marginal settlement) in the metropolis of Tabriz is not merely a physical and urban challenge; rather, it stands as one of the most complex strategic knots within the political and social geography of Southern Azerbaijan. Tabriz, as the economic and cultural hub of the region, is today grappling with a phenomenon that has placed nearly half of its population in a condition of existential suspension and structural instability. This report, adopting a sociological and strategic approach, undertakes an in-depth analysis of the roots of this phenomenon, the dimensions of seismic vulnerability risks, and an assessment of the effectiveness of government policies in addressing this crisis.
