Ayatollah Yathrebi also referred to challenges such as water scarcity and environmental crises, emphasizing the enduring efforts of Kashan\u2019s hardworking people throughout history, who have repeatedly overcome hardship and brought the city to international prominence.

Dr. Hasan Fartousi: Kashan Could Become Iran\u2019s First Creative City of Architecture<\/strong>

As part of the third day of the visit of the Secretary-General of the Iranian National Commission for UNESCO to the Kashan Cultural Region, a specialized academic seminar entitled \u201cCreativity in Architecture\u201d was held at Azadi Hall of the University of Kashan. The event was attended by Dr. Hasan Fartousi, university professors, architecture experts and a group of students.

During the seminar, Dr. Fartousi praised Kashan\u2019s distinguished place in world history and civilization, stating: \u201cKashan is a city with a rich and extraordinary civilization. Creativity has been one of its key elements, playing an effective role in its sustainable development and cultural identity.\u201d

Harnessing Scientific and Global Opportunities<\/strong>

Referring to the various initiatives implemented in Kashan in education, documentation and the use of the city\u2019s capacities, Dr. Fartousi stated that, despite competition among cities worldwide, Kashan had managed to maintain and consolidate its path with the support of local institutions.

He highlighted the need to document these efforts, establish educational infrastructure, expand international academic capacity and strengthen global scientific networks. He also emphasized the importance of making the most of these opportunities to enhance Kashan\u2019s standing internationally.

Commending the organizers of the academic seminar at the University of Kashan, the Secretary-General of the Iranian National Commission for UNESCO said that the presentations reflected the high academic and research standards of the country\u2019s universities, particularly in architecture, and played a key role in strengthening local and university capacities.

Emphasizing the role of universities in strengthening social responsibility, promoting innovation and fostering creativity, he added that such events were expected to contribute to the academic and cultural advancement of universities and their active participation in international scientific networks.

Indigenous Architecture: A Link between Tradition and Innovation<\/strong>

Highlighting the role of cultural heritage in sustainable development, Dr. Fartousi stated that, amid global crises such as climate change, understanding and preserving indigenous and traditional architecture, as exemplified by Kashan, could help inform new approaches to urban design. He stressed the importance of safeguarding cultural elements and respecting nature, and commended the efforts of civil society organizations, senior academics and architecture experts.

Kashan: A Pioneer of Architectural Creativity in Iran<\/strong>

Referring to Kashan\u2019s exceptional potential in architecture and creativity, Dr. Fartousi added: \u201cKashan could become Iran\u2019s first Creative City of Architecture; a smart, learning city with the cultural and academic infrastructure needed to play a global role.\u201d He described UNESCO\u2019s primary objective as promoting balanced and sustainable development, adding: \u201cOur aim is to introduce cultural and social values to the world, not merely to promote economic development.\u201d

During the event, Dr. Behzad Soltani, President of the University of Kashan, described the institution as one of Iran\u2019s reputable comprehensive universities.
