AI. Tehran can build on its universities, talent, startups, medicine, and manufacturing to create AI. Traffic management, air-quality response, water monitoring, health access, and Persian services can improve capacity if open standards and accountability guide deployment.

Climate. Tehran faces rising heat, drought, water scarcity, subsidence, dust, and air pollution within a mountain basin. Water reuse, aquifer protection, shade, efficient cooling, cleaner transport, and growth around transit are necessary for health and economic stability.

Energy. Tehran's cooling, buildings, industry, metro, and water pumping need an efficient, diverse energy system. Solar, building retrofits, grids, storage, demand response, and transport electrification can reduce gas dependence and improve resilience during extreme heat.
