Actually, construction rules and regulations <br />in a metropolis like Tehran is the tool of performing urban development plans and development process in shortterm <br />urban projects and long-term development plans is controlled by means of these rules and regulations. <br />Therefore, how these rules and regulations are performed is a decisive factor in achieving goals and prospects of <br />urban development plans. Quantity and quality of construction regulations in Tehran from the first comprehensive <br />plan approved in 1970 to the strategic-structural plan in 2007 was changed along with the evolution of general <br />urban developments and special development policies in Tehran. Also, necessity of updating rules and regulations <br />of urban development is considered according to lack of full performance or low performance of many of the rules <br />and regulations of previous plans. A major part of challenges about non-implementation of these regulations can <br />be studied in the form of anomalies of constructional violations. This research analyzes and evaluates the way <br />of performing these regulations and status of constructional violations with the goal of analyzing challenges of <br />performing rules and regulations of urban development in Tehran metropolis using descriptive-analytical method. <br />Hence, four time intervals: the interval between performing regulations of first comprehensive plan of Tehran and <br />financial self-sufficiency of municipal, the interval between implementing density sales policy and modifying <br />regulations of Tehran, the interval between performing Amendment of planning regulations of Tehran and <br />announcing the rules of detailed and comprehensive plan of Tehran and after that are evaluated. Also, causes of <br />creation of constructional violations and their consequences in the failure of urban development plans were analyzed <br />and the results demonstrate that the factors such as physical field and limitations and natural tendencies of urban <br />development, underlying society and economy of city, defects of construction rules and regulations and inefficient <br />urban management system are the most important causes of constructional violations in Tehran metropolis.Limitations of urban constructions in the form of rules and regulations with the aim of controlling city physical <br />development is the product of city development plans and documents.

Many artists have addressed this event in their artwork; the most important and best-known representation of this event was addressed in Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper fresco that is displayed in the monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie. The importance of this painting emerges from the fact that new readings and interpretations of this work have been made even in the contemporary era. Multiple images represented have The Last Supper in the contemporary era, with changes in the concept and content according to the features and the problems of contemporary society. The goal here is to study the represented works of Da Vinci’s The Last Supper in the era of postmodernism by following the period’s characteristics and conditions of this time. The content and meanings of the represented works of the Last Supper have changed. There are many represented examples of da Vinci’s The Last Supper of which, in this study, two sample images of artistic means (abstract-minimalism) have been analyzed and described. Data in this study has been collected by using documentations from the library, and finally, the images which represent the cultural aspects and the features of the society for audiences have been analyzed and described. In fact, these images are contemporary cultural objects which express new concepts. The word-types used were different, but meanings such as spirituality and holiness have been expressed by several signs in both works. By placing a timeless work of art in different positional contexts, therefore, new meanings are created.The Event of the Last upper of Jesus Christ has always been considered as one of the most important events in Christianity.

One effect of such processes is urban decline which may be defined as "the relative under-performance of many local urban economies and the resulting mix of economic, social, physical, and environmental exclusion, which often appears to be self-sustaining in the absence of external intervention". The urban decline, because of spatial concentration, leads to the creation, continuation, and intensification of deteriorated neighbourhoods. In Iran, deterioration of some urban neighbourhoods can be considered as the consequence of contemporary socio-economic transitions. The consequences of urban deterioration are the disequilibrium of main functions in the neighbourhood, the concentration of unstable buildings, lack of public services, and unbalance between driving paths and pavements. The result is the lack of equilibrium, balance, and sustainability in the deteriorated neighbourhoods. <br />The issue of neighbourhood sustainability can be considered from physical, functional, environmental, and social aspects. This paper put an emphasis on the equilibrium and balance between different functions and defines the criteria and indices of a sustainable neighbourhood from functional aspect. To this end, the content of literature is reviewed; then, the status quo of the deteriorated neighbourhoods of Tehran (in relation to the defined indices) is analysed; and finally, the required policy readjustments to enhance functional sustainability in these neighbourhoods is proposed.Processes of socio-economic restructuring result in reshaping cities and affect all aspects of urban life all over the world.

In Persian <br />literature, “Nezami” is one of the strongest pillars in storytelling and lyrics.
