The city is the most complex achievement of human civilization, and the most intricate aspect of the city is its development. This development must respond to various material and spiritual needs. It must be both this and that, rather than either this or that. One of the simplest yet most challenging urban issues and aspects of its development is the matter of deteriorated fabrics and their renovation. Much has been written on this subject, and numerous plans and programs have been designed and implemented based on it. However, the fundamental question has remained: “Which renovation?” This is the most significant question we have faced today and for many years. Which renovation will serve Iranian contexts the best, and what characteristics should this renovation possess? The present article aims to address the questions efficiently by examining the current conditions of deteriorated fabrics and their renovation in Iran. The response is presented as a model titled the “Smart Balanced Renovation Model,” based on the “Balanced Renovation Theory of Urban Deteriorated Fabrics”.
