Abstract

Abstract: It is about fifty years that the comprehensive and detailed plans have been the directing instrument and documents for Iranian cities spatial development. Meanwhile, the old context of cities not only became adapted with the modern patterns and their urbanism impression, but also this issue impaired their physical-special structure. Isfahan is a city with primary biological cores; and its historical background is indebted to Zayanderoud River. The role of the river and its branches (Madies) has been very important for agriculture and city development. "Madi" is one of Isfahan urban environmental features, which antiquity of this element refers to the ages before Islam. Unfortunately, due to the city development of the city, some part of the city identity, namely Madi, was forgotten. This paper tries to mention the value of such a city environmental element that was very considerable in the past, and evaluate the effects of urban development plans on them.
