Vali-e Asr the longest street in the Middle East, took shape as the link between Tehran and Shemiran and mostly had the role of an urban pathway but a mixture of structural, natural, historical and functional characteristics caused it to consolidate itself not only as a mere pathway but also more importantly as a valuable destination. Therefore, it can be said that Vali-e Asr is a linear urban space.

Generally, citizens' affection for an urban space originates from their memories. In fact, the city acts like a vessel in which such memoirs take shape.
Moreover, Vali-e Asr is the place for forgetting sorrows, a place for worshipping, purchasing and window shopping, studying, a place for seclusion and solitude or vice versa, socialization and enjoying the company of other people and to remember that you are in your own hometown.
