Tehran from Above – Aerial Photos of the Capital

IFP: Tehran, the sprawling metropolitan capital city, has all the facilities and infrastructure you would expect in a major industrial, commercial and economic hub. With a population of over 8 million residents – just shy of New York City – Tehran is a busy, bustling, sometimes confusing urban maelstrom. Seen from the air, however, some of its underlying patterns are laid out for all to see. These photos from IRNA give us another perspective on the capital, highlighting some of the residential, industrial, agricultural and architectural designs that you might miss from the ground.
