Khīyābān, faz̤ā va qudrat: Persian 1400

The street is an important element in today's world, as a public space, it is a platform where social, political, and gender interactions take place. According to Dr. Asif Bayat, the street in the concept of public space is the only geometric place for the collective movement of the strata who lack an institutional place to express their dissatisfaction. In order to describe how the street became a conscious arena of socio-political activities, Asif pointed to the relationship between "space" and "power". He believes that what makes the street stand out politically is the active and participatory use of public spaces. The street is usually in the domain of the government's power; Because the government regulates the rules and regulations of this arena and expects the users of these public spaces to behave passively and in accordance with the laws of the government. Therefore, any active use of the street challenges both the control of the ruling power and the groups enjoying the existing order. In recent years, thinkers and enthusiasts of this field have paid more attention to the concepts of participatory and active use of the street in urban order. Strengthening this area has led to the promotion of the culture of discourse around such issues and increased the participation of citizens, women, and men for a better life. This book, whose place was empty in today's intellectual debates in Iran, is an attempt to understand the street as a public space and to explain the public space through "the street".
