📋 Key Takeaway

Iranian urban planners and officials are debating the practice of selling excess building density rights beyond what detailed city plans allow. Studies indicate this practice drives up land prices in neighborhoods and spreads to surrounding areas, raising questions about whether opposition focuses on housing affordability concerns or municipal revenue interests.
