Be the Mayor of Tehran

Tehran, Iran · 94 people · Megacity

The Tehran Municipality and the Tehran Urban and Suburban Railway Operations Company manage one of the Middle East's most severe air pollution crises — the Alborz mountain range traps vehicle and heating emissions in a basin city — operating the 9-line Tehran Metro carrying 3.5 million daily riders, coordinating odd even vehicle restriction programmes, and executing reforestation of Lavizan and Chitgar forest parks.

The seat for Tehran on the Board of Mayors is open. Seat #1 is yours to take.

Take the Oath of Office

The city

Landmark: Milad Tower & Golestan Palace.

The Tehran Municipality's Air Quality Control Company triggers city wide odd even vehicle restriction programmes on pollution emergency days — when the Air Quality Index breaches hazardous thresholds, millions of private vehicles are banned from central zones based on licence plate numbers, while the Tehran Metro runs extended hours and additional services to absorb displaced commuters across a city of over nine million people.
Tehran Urban Railway operates a 9-line metro bored through active seismic fault zones beneath the Alborz foothills — requiring ongoing geological monitoring, earthquake resistant tunnel lining inspection programmes, and emergency evacuation planning across 230 km of tunnels that carry over 3.5 million passengers daily, making it one of the busiest metro systems in the world.

How a term works

Take office and every day brings a live situation from the city's services: a decision to make and a result that is measured. A term is scored on approval, infrastructure, environment and innovation, inside a real budget, and every mayor's work adds to Tehran's own record on the Board of Mayors. You are not alone in office: message and chat with other mayors, form a council with friends, trade with nearby cities and send aid. Cities rise together: there is no losing city.
