TEHRAN, Jan. 18 (Xinhua) -- Districts of Iran's capital Tehran are joining an experiment of the Municipality to create a more joyful and interactive environment in the city by inviting the residents to participate in the painting of selected alleys.
After a pilot project was carried out in 2019 in ancient Shahr-e Rey, now a district on the southern outskirts of Tehran, the first alley chosen by the authorities was Khosro Qadiani in District 9 close to emblematic Azadi Tower.
Walls were refurbished and then a pattern of squares and rectangles was painted on the floor and walls, as District Mayor Mostafa Mousavi-Lari explained at the inauguration on Nov. 6, 2020 to the Municipality's official website Shora Online.
