Civilopedia entry[]
When Agha Mohammad Khan established himself as the first Qajar ruler of Iran, he moved the country’s capital to Tehran. At the time, urban centers did not hold much sway over the country’s largely rural populace. To nominally take control of Iran meant capturing its major cities; but ruling the country required constant negotiations with the self-administrating provinces and communities.
As the nineteenth century advanced, the cities began to grow in both size and power, shifting the relationship between urban and rural spaces. Tehran in particular was greatly transformed, first by its new role as capital, which initiated an immediate population boom, and later by modernization. Among the many building projects that continuously expanded the city was an initiative by Naser al-Din Shah to construct a new wall with twelve gates. They stood for over half a century, a statement of Qajar power, until they were torn down in the 1930s during yet another phase of Tehran’s expansion.
