high income neighborhoods have apartments like these, but also got some gaudy tasteless roman design alongside dilapidated housing of old people that got trapped in there when their neighbourhood got gentrified and can't afford renovation. iranian towns basically have no zoning laws and the ones that are there can be bypassed by bribing some official or another, so everyone just builds whatever they like/can afford/think sells best. the cities are ugly as sin but i guess it's better than 12 lanes of asphalt.

EDIT: Tehran also has a lot of highways running through it i meant all development is mostly dense. there's really no such thing as a suburb since it's basically wasted value. soviet blocks are the most common type of housing since it offers most value per square meter of land.
