The book's narrative builds upon a tripartite research design that chronologically traces the formation and development of the oil, steel, and copper industries, respectively favoured by Great Britain, the Soviet Union, and the United States in this part of the world. By applying three sets of comparative studies, the book provides critical vantage points to three different ideological design paradigms: postcolonial regionalism, socialist universalism, and rationalist modern nation-building. From a global political context, the book contributes to the disclosure of new information about the geopolitical confrontation of these three nations in the Global South to increase their sphere of influence after the second World War. Furthermore, it demonstrates how post-war architectural modernism was adopted by each power and adapted to their ideological mind-frame to fulfil distinct social, cultural, political, and economic targets. This book examines multiple interconnections between architecture, politics, and industrial development by adopting a transdisciplinary approach based on comprehensive fieldwork, site surveys and the analysis of original multilingual documents. As such, it will be of interest to researchers and students of architecture, history, international relations and Middle Eastern studies"--cProvided by publisher. 0aCompany town architecturezIranxHistoryy20th century. 0aCompany townszIranxPlanning. 0aArchitecturexPolitical aspectszIran. 0aPetroleum industry and tradexPolitical aspectszIran. 0aMetal tradexPolitical aspectszIran. 0aIranxEconomic conditionsy1945-1979. 0aIranxForeign relationsy1941-1979.08iOnline version:aSoufiani, Hamidreza Mahboubi.tDeveloping IrandAbingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2024z9781003372103w(DLC) 2023023493
