Allocate land in large cities, especially Tehran, to minimal government cooperatives for free. There are most of the building materials in the country. If construction begins, small mines will be activated, young engineers and tens of thousands of workers will be employed.

According to the International Exhibition of Iranian Stone, shelter is the second most important human need after food. Man needs water and food to survive, and then he needs housing to protect himself from water, wind, soil, cold, and heat, and to form and give birth to family life.

The economy needs industries, mines, trade, production, agriculture, imports, exports, and many other topics to survive in order to form the full picture of a country's economic puzzle. But it seems that the most important part in turning the engine of a country's economy on and off is building a house, or in other words, building a construction industry.
In the simplest form, construction requires four important tools.


1. the earth
2. Building Materials
3. Manpower
4. Money or initial liquidity

These four important elements are the foundation of construction in the world. Each of these elements has a different fate in a building, and their costs are not equal, but in almost all countries, including Iran, land accounts for a larger proportion of the total cost of a building.

Building materials from gypsum, iron, cement, tiles, bricks, wood, paint, nails, screws, cables, heat and cold appliances, kitchen, bathroom, elevator, parking and hundreds of other small and large items that before and after completion Becoming a needed building makes construction the most important issue in a dynamic economy.

The number of jobs involved with a building in the design, construction, hardening, joinery, beauty, and complementary sectors is such that almost no other industry, large or small, can be measured.

In the construction discussion, mines for raw materials from stone and gypsum to sand must be discovered and prepared. Iron and steel are always needed. The building requires fuel and energy. It requires a variety of jobs, from a simple worker to an engineer, an architect, and an earthquake expert. Plasterer, hard worker, electrician, cement worker, tile maker, painter, carpenter, woodworker, cabinet maker, radiator, service, guard, entrepreneur, and document registrar.

The role of organizations such as the engineering system, municipalities, the Ministry of Housing, cooperatives, and dozens of other organizations in building construction is quite clear.

Construction requires money and liquidity, and of course it has a rapid impact on the money circulation system, in which banks and the facilities they can provide play the most important role.

The expansion of cities and building alongside them create the various needs of society. Schools, mosques, hospitals, cinemas, parks, police stations, sports stadiums, shops and markets, and everything the small and large community needs are somehow tied to construction.

Construction, especially housing construction, while being a permanent and permanent need of societies, is permanently necessary with the birth and growth of each child and each marriage that takes place and the family is formed.

Given the importance of construction, all governments in all countries are working to ensure that the engine of construction is not shut down to achieve two important goals: improving the economic situation and promoting social status.

One of the simplest solutions in all countries is to control land prices as the most expensive part of government construction, which is why projects like Mehr Housing are cheaper because governments are building buildings on the outskirts of cities and building small towns on government land. Sometimes governments, with the help of municipalities and military organizations, devote all their vacancies, such as barracks and relocation facilities, to building houses and use high-rise construction to control prices and inflation in the construction sector, which affects all classes. And the material will be prevented.

Usually, governments, even in the most difficult financial circumstances, prevent the increase in tolls and taxes, and dozens of other building-related issues are prevented by government agencies and municipalities, and city councils advocate for the people, not municipal agents. Another demands.

Given the country's economic situation, the construction engine must be turned on and out of the current recession. This is only possible with cheaper buildings. Mehr Housing with its many defects must be completed and delivered, and in future plans, a more suitable location must be done, and more quality materials and more beautiful designs must be used.

Allocate land in large cities, especially Tehran, to minimal government cooperatives for free. There are most of the building materials in the country. If construction begins, small mines will be activated, young engineers and tens of thousands of workers will be employed. If the banking system helps and exceeds its 30% profit and provides cheap, low-cost facilities with a single-digit profit to the consumer, the people, and obliges to pay the buyers of the units, but the money is given to the builders, the engine will shut down again.
