Objective: This study examines the situation and experiences of the Islamic Revolution Housing Foundation when preparing urban development plans for dilapidated and disorganised areas. It then extracts the approaches and models used in these plans for implementation in similar projects. Method: In terms of research type, the present study is classified as applied research and qualitative. To achieve this goal, content analysis, a qualitative research method, has been employed. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with key figures in a targeted manner. Questionnaire data analysis was performed using SPSS software, and data interpretation was carried out using the MAXQDA 2020 software coding, categorisation and definition of the unit of analysis processes. Results: The results of the study demonstrate the impact of renovation courses and the aftermath of natural disasters, and show that intervention in inefficient urban areas by this institution will be effective when utilising models such as regeneration, reconstruction, empowerment, relocation, on-site construction, improvement, parity, and redevelopment. Conclusions: Finally, the following models are proposed for intervention in the projects of the Islamic Revolution Housing Foundation's disorganised urban fabrics: improvement through people's participation and intervention; utilisation of social capacity for the development of construction; utilisation of the support and cooperation of social organisations; improvement through an integrated and sustainable urban development approach; institutional capacity building and creation of infrastructure; improvement and empowerment of disordered neighbourhoods; decentralisation and delegation of authority to cities; structural design for urban renewal and regeneration; urban improvement through combined strategic planning; and development of stimulating projects through the creation of participatory associations.
