Mohammadkhani: We Seek Our Passing Grade from the People, Not Western Institutions

The Tehran Municipality spokesperson, responding to remarks by a city council member about Tehran's drop in a British institution's ranking, said: 'The real assessment of municipal management's performance should come from the people, not from institutions that are today engaged in an all-out economic war against our country.'

The response of the spokesperson of Tehran Municipality to the claim of a council member about the global ranking of the capital

The spokesperson of Tehran municipality, in response to the statements of a member of the city council regarding the drop in Tehran's ranking in the report of an English institute, said: "The real evaluation of the performance of urban management should be seen from the people, not from the institutions that are currently engaged in an all-out economic war against our country."

According to the Ambassador of Arjan, according to the Ambassador of Arjan, Abdul Mathar Mohammad Khani, the spokesperson of Tehran Municipality, in a live interview with the "Parkway" program of Ambassador Arjan TV, in response to the claim made by a member of the Tehran City Council regarding the reduction of the capital's global ranking in the urban governance index, explained the dimensions and unspoken aspects of this ranking.

Citing the statistics of an English institution is questionable

Referring to the non-transparency of the basis of this ranking, Mohammad Khani stated: "It is surprising to me how a Western and British institution should be the criterion for evaluating our internal management? Even the official reports of international organizations have serious structural criticisms, let alone an English institution whose mechanism and dimensions of measuring its indicators are not clear at all."

He clarified: "It is not clear how their data was collected; Because this collection has not had any information exchange or official data reception from the collection of municipalities and urban management institutions inside the country.

Why did they ignore last year's 15-step climb?

The spokesperson of Tehran Municipality, recalling the results of last year's ranking of the same institution, added: "In last year's ranking, Tehran experienced a significant growth of 15 places; Interestingly, those who make these claims today did not mention the 15-step rise of the capital at that time, but now they exaggerate a drop in rank.

Mohammad Khani added: "Another very important point is that the indicators of this report are not only related to urban management, but are defined based on the evaluation of the country as a whole, and the number calculated for Tehran is also recorded for other metropolises and cities of the country. Therefore, reducing it to the scope of Tehran Municipality's performance is an obvious mistake."

Imposing crisis costs on the city and continuing the reconstruction movement

Referring to the conditions and variables imposed on the capital city, the spokesperson of the municipality emphasized: "It has been proven in all the urban analyzes of the world that crisis conditions and wars cause the first damage to the incomes and expenses of metropolises; Expenses jump wildly and revenues fall. During this period, heavy costs were incurred for the reconstruction and compensation of damages caused by tensions and various incidents, but the municipality complex, with a clear track record, worked non-stop in the fields of urban services, construction, public transportation and city improvement.

The ultimate judgment rests with the people, not biased foreign reports

In the end, Mohammad Khani emphasized: "The true measure of our success is people's satisfaction." Today, the citizens of Tehran are the best judge whether there has been a change in the field of transportation, renovations and urban services during this one year or not. Numerous surveys and surveys indicate the growth of Ambassador Arjanan's level of satisfaction. Any grade that people give to their servants in the city is a matter of pride; Not the creation of a media atmosphere by institutions that write against the interests of the Iranian nation in a hostile atmosphere.
