Abstract Background and purpose: The presence of the river in the urban landscape is an advantage compared to other cities that have not benefited from it, but if the urban space around the river does not have the necessary response, it will become a serious threat. Mehranroud in Tabriz is also known as one of the main elements of the ossification of the city and its presence is evident throughout the city. In recent decades, the neglect of Mehranroud in Tabriz has caused its edge to never function as a successful urban space. Therefore, as a result of the above measures and the need to improve the quality of the environment, we can create an opportunity to strengthen social connections by looking again at the riverside and reviving it as a vital artery of the city.
Research method: this research is descriptive-analytical; After examining the theoretical foundations of the lost urban spaces and using them in the redesign of the riverside spaces with the approach of reviving this space, a theoretical framework is proposed that with the current theoretical foundations, a practical project is presented to restore the lost spaces of the riverside.
Findings and conclusions: The results show that urban rivers are rich sources of natural capacities, which with proper design and consistent with their location and minimal physical intervention can become valuable potentials and natural, recreational, tourism, cultural, and commercial indicators. And... become. Appropriate, correct and principled use of these experiences can have a significant impact on the success of the riverbanks.
