Shifting Landscapes of Digital and Urban Dissent in Tehran
Abstract
This chapter explores the role of the residential neighborhoods, particularly planned, modernist neighborhoods traditionally home to the Tehran middle class in the recent Woman, Life, Freedom protests in Iran. The chapter ties the architectural history of modernist neighborhoods that have historically attracted a more politically active segment of society. At the same time, the authors also focus on the digital side of the movement, through the concept of digitalized resistance, illustrating how the digital and the physical realms of the protest came together to reinforce each other.
