History and Planning
Golsar's construction started as a town in 9 July 1972, during which time it was called 'Boosar'. After announcing a public call and based on people's suggestions, the name of the town was changed to "Golsar" in 6 September 1972. The town's urban design was done Dr. Ali abadi, who also designed Shahinshahr city in Isfahan province.[2]
The township was designed for a population of 15,000 people and a covered area of 1,700,000 m2 (420 acres), with 1,500 villa houses and 700 apartments built and sold. In addition to residential units, the Golsar Mosque was also planned, along with a clinic, a high school, and stores to meet the needs of the town's residents. The width of the streets was considered to be 45 m (49 yd), and green space with towering trees around the streets was part of the town plan. The appearance of this town has changed greatly from a villa town to an area with apartment complexes and multi-unit residential, office, and commercial complexes.[2]
