Tehran’s municipality plans to spend as much as $10 billion as part of a five-year plan to upgrade the capital’s infrastructure and keep up with population growth, an Iranian official said.
“This may be a great leap,” Hojat Behrooz, assistant to the deputy mayor for transportation, said in an interview in Dubai. “But with the deficiencies that exist in Tehran’s public transport, if it isn’t done we will certainly run into problems.”
