Summary

[edit]
Description Tehran is the capital of Iran and Tehran Province. With a population of 18,429,807, it is also Iran's largest urban area and city, one of the largest cities in Western Asia, and is the 19th largest city in the world. Tehran is the centre of most Iranian industries including automotive, electrical, military, weaponry, textiles, sugar, cement, and chemical. Tehran is also a leading centre for the sale of carpets and furniture. There is an oil refinery located south of the city. In the 20th century, Tehran was subject to mass-migration of people from all around Iran. Tehran has a diverse range of peoples, cultures and religions, notably a sizable Armenian community. Many languages are spoken within its boundaries as a result. The city is home to many historic mosques, churches, synagogues and Zoroastrian fire temples. Contemporary Tehran is a modern city featuring many tall structures, of which the Shahyad Tower and more recently the Milad Tower have come to be symbols of Tehran itself. In 2009, Tehran was the 33rd most expensive city in the world, 56th by the size of its GDP and 29th by the population of its metropolitan area.
