He was a part of the restless story of the men who come and whose name is remembered in hard struggle. Like the story of the stirring of passionate breaths which is life-giving and blows on the forehead of the city from time to time.
The memory of engineer Seyed Javad Shahrashtani was a sip of Farah Bakhshi’s dynamism that sweetened the palate of the city’s development. His efforts can be seen in the rotation of stout turbines, the paving stones of Mashhad’s water and electricity wells, the green trees of Kermanshah, the pulse of the highway. Chamran saw in the heart of the capital.
The face of the late engineer Seyed Javad Shahrashtani, whether he was in the guise of a soldier guarding the country’s security, or when he wore the uniform of a university professor and taught at the university, or when his name was mentioned as the first managing director of Khorasan regional electricity, the mayor of Mashhad, the mayor of Tehran. The Minister of Roads and Transport, the Governor of Kermanshah was more popular than ever, and he never got tired after all these years.
Mashhad ; He owes a considerable part of his development to the services of a city engineer. After he took charge of Mashhad Municipality in 1342, he rolled up his sleeves when he entered the municipal building and started to modify the structure of this complex.
City water piping and drilling of various wells, establishment of a bus company, construction of the country’s first beltway in Mashhad, conversion of the first cemetery into a park at the bottom of the street (Vahdat Boulevard), construction of several kindergartens, nurseries and slaughterhouses are just examples of city services in the period His presence is in the administration room of Mashhad Municipality. To all these, we should add the creation of a plan around the Holy Shrine of the 8th Imam (AS).
The valuable actions of the late Shahrashtani in the management of Mashhad continued until a while later he was selected and introduced as a model municipality of the country, and this is the reason why this 44-year-old engineer was elected by the people for the first time in 1347 and when he was elected by the people of the Tehran City Association. was formed to be unanimously elected as the mayor of Tehran. A responsibility that lasted for more than a year for the first time.
The establishment of Behesht Zahra organization, the establishment of a sports stadium, an airport, an Asian exhibition, the connection of Tehran Pars to Rislat, and most importantly the Sadr highway, which was close to the army buildings, were carried out during the responsibility of the city in Tehran Municipality.
Collection of surface water, establishment of South Shahr Construction Company, construction of Mellat Park, Niavaran, Jamshidiyeh, Chitgar Park, Abbas Abad Park and several green spaces are other parts of these activities of the city engineer in this period.
Zinda Yad Shahrashtani in the years 1352-1355 relied on the seat of the Ministry of Roads and Transport. His construction activities during this period are also exemplary. He built the South Terminal during this period.
One of his honors during his presence in this ministry was organizing the transportation situation and especially its effect on improving air cleanliness.
During his lifetime, engineer Seyed Javad Shahrashtani said in an interview with Taq magazine: An engineer must first know himself; It means to know that the power of reasoning that God has given to an engineer may not have been given to others to this extent.
Those who think and work are valuable people who always enter these professions. This divine gift that God has given to engineers should be activated.
Engineers should appreciate themselves. No art is as enjoyable as engineering. When I think, all my fatigue disappears. God has given man an intelligence that understands many things. In Islam, they also said that you should not deny anything unless you have knowledge about it, because today there may be no way to detect it, but tomorrow it will be possible. So the reality is different than what you have understood so far. Maybe there are many things in the world that you don’t know.
