Bazaar means a place for trade cohere you can buy and sell goods. The term Bazaar, has significant history in ancient Persia. In the middle age Farsi it was called Vazaar. This Persian term has found its way into Arabic, Turkish, Ottoman and some European cultures.

The history of Bazaar started simultaneously with the formation of urbanization in Iran which goes back to about ten thousand years ago. Archeological activities in the city of Ur, from the Sumerian civilization which is in the same time frame with the civilization of Elam, a proof of the presence of indoor canals which are considered samples of the ancient Bazaar.

In all periods of political and social Iran from Achaemenian to Sassanid era, even after Islam, the spread of social, economic and political Bazaar has been witnessed to progress.

But today what remains of the ancient Bazaar’s in Iran and still has the old functionality are the ones which were built during and after Safavid era. In this era there were Bazaar’s in large cities like Isfahan, Tabriz, Mashhad, Shiraz, Qazvin and were greatly expanded in side orders and a number of old inn, bathrooms, schools, seminary, convent and recreational facilities like parks and polo ground, were constructed.

Years later Passages modern Bazaars, a commercial complex with versatile features and structural variety of twentieth century architecture was joint with the ancient design of the Bazaar’s and especially the European design was formed in Tehran. Naderi Pasage 1326, Shirvani Pasage 1330, Academic Building 1334, Plasko Building 1340, and finally Aluminium Building and Baharestan Pasage, and Kuwaiti Pasage in the forties and fifties (1340-1350) are examples of the first generation of the Bazaar’s of today.

History of Malls

A mall is a property that is formed by one or several interconnected buildings and collections of retail stores, leisure services and extensive parking and a single centralized management system.

Although this type of shopping centers, look like the twentieth-century ancient Bazaar’s of Iran, but their native land is from the centers built in U.S after the World War II.

Going back to he roots of English language the word Mall is originally derived from the word “Pal-Mall” which was a game in Britain during the 17^th century. The word Pal-Mall stands for ball and bat came from France and later traveled to Britain and Iran.

The famous Nesve-Jahan Square of Isfahan is a very good example of a real traditional mall. The open sky of the square gives a very authentic feeling to the air for the Pal-Mall games that took place there.

However historians have named the Highland Park which was made by Hugh Prater in Dallas, Texas in 1931 as the first mall ever made.

In general, what distinguishes Mega Mall and other shopping centers is that the Mega Malls are over 100,000 sq.m and spaces dedicated for offices shops and so on. Also the type of services that are provided for customers are indeed very professionally designed.
