Tehran has been subject of mass migration of people from all over Iran, since the 20th century. There have been plans to relocate Iran’s capital from Tehran to another area; due mainly to air pollution.The most famous landmarks of the city include the Azadi Tower, a memorial built during the Pahlavi period, and the Milad Tower, the world’s 17th tallest freestanding structure which was built in 2007.
