It is good to have a super mega city, the majority of large countries have it.

yeah, Tehran is likely going to be as prestigious and prosperous as Mexico City, but with even more air pollution and drug addicts!!!!

Tehran is moving in a wrong direction with a wrong short and long term plan from the government.
None of them knowing what they are really doing. Tehran has a big and huge problem and the stupid thing is that they are giving more and more construction approval to build houses and other offices. The majority of people even the kids are suffering from a big and disaster air polution.

Tehran should not be the capital as this city is high populated causing lots of wasting time. Capital should be a small place for administrative activities. It takes amazing long time to get things done in this city. That's the reason why Iranian govenment is so unefficient as it is today.
