Not only do industries cause inconveniences such as sound, water and air pollution in surrounding residential areas, but they also result in serious environmental hazards like industrial wastes and debris, and pollution of water and soils by heavy metals. The aim of this paper is to present the design principles and tactics of abandoned industrial sites. The subject has found great importance due to rapid urban development, which removes industries from old urban textures and city centers. In recent years the idea of post-industrial landscape is an important notion in this regard which can be used to bring life and activities to these sites while maintaining their industrial identity. This research is focused on a part of the industrial zone located in the south of
Tehran and aimed to present design tactics for improving the site. The industries in this area have to be transferred to the industrial towns around the city, according to comprehensive plan of Tehran and other urban approvals. The study shows that focusing on the industrial identity, recovering the site based on plant improving methods and combining the ecological and urban network are the most important principles in restoring the environmental conditions of the site under study and other similar cases.
