Due to its wide range of urban potentials in the fields of culture, history and art, Rudaki can narrate a pure Iranian idea that, while creating a storytelling appeal for the audience, also plays the role of integrating this diverse potential. These main potentials and strategies of this area, we chose one of Attar Neyshabouri’s collection of poems called Seven Cities of Love, as a field of narration, and each of the valleys of this literary collection into a physical narrative and finally urban spatial use. We converted.
