6 Key Developments During Reign That Modernized

One of the most iconic developments was the introduction of the horse-drawn tram system on streets like Cheragh Gaz (now Amir Kabir) and Lalehzar. In 1898, a contract was signed with a Belgian company to establish tram lines using the BOT (Build, Operate, Transfer) investment model. These trams connected key areas like Nasser Khosrow, Topkhaneh Square, and Rey Street, revolutionizing public transportation. Inspired by European cities, hired Count du Montfort, an Austrian officer, in 1878 to establish a police force responsible for maintaining order and security. This department later evolved into the City Police during the era, marking the beginning of modern law enforcement.
