Abstract

Trade can be one of the most influential factors in the development of cities, as ‎in the Great Khorasan region during the centuries after the arrival of Islam. ‎After consolidation of the Islamic regime in Iran including Great Khorasan, the ‎society changed because of the teachings of Islam, thinking about social classes ‎and productive works. Hence, the ground for generating jobs in urban areas ‎emerged. Most produced goods in this period were based on agriculture and ‎livestock products. These products were produced on a large scale and variety. ‎Thus, the export of surplus goods to other areas was pursued by people and ‎governments. The primary export destinations were markets of cities. Because ‎of the geographical location of Khorasan region, most cities were along the ‎routes through which Muslims could establish trade relations and economic ‎transactions with other nations, export their goods and import the needed ‎materials. Hence, the cities which were located on the trade routes would ‎attract a great population due to their economic attractions and wealth creation ‎leading to the expansion and development of cities in the region.‎
