Cinema Campus Design in Tehran with an Emphasis on Social Sustainability to Increase Citizens Attendance in Urban Spaces

Abstract

Urban social sustainability is defined as the continuous potential of a city as a living durable, and long-term environment for human interactions and cultural development. The fundamental problem of the author is recognizing social sustainability in the available literature, and some views compete with each other on the effect rate of urban form on social sustainability. It is more important to pay attention to forces that shape and change the urban and regional form before addressing how components of urban form affect social sustainability. The first step in examining and testing social sustainability is to understand the main characteristics of the sustainable urban form. There is an intense relationship between architecture, cinema, and culture. Cinema that provides a borderless imagination can serve as a substantial tool for architectural evolution. Cinema can criticize architecture and the built environment, highlighting its covert beauties and ugliness, and architecture can provide the appropriate and attractive field for cinema, finally, architecture and cinema can influence the culture ruling their fields. The creation of opportunities for social interactions is among the most significant dimensions and characteristics of cultural-cinema complexes. When citizens interact with each other, they feel a stronger relationship with the place and complex, and it indeed evokes a sense of belonging to the place among individuals. This cooperation between people leads to their participation in various areas. Therefore, no sustainability occurs in different aspects of society unless people participate in them.
