Parand (Persian: پرند) is a planned city[3] in the Central District of Robat Karim County, Tehran province, Iran.

The city is intended to provide residences for the staff of Imam Khomeini International Airport, and to create a balance in the settlement pattern of Tehran, establish an appropriate environment to draw in the extra population of Tehran and offer an alternative to unsystematic settlements.

It aims to host low-income families (laborers’ and employees’ housing cooperatives) by providing low-priced residential units with bank loans thereby attracting various classes of people.

[citation needed] On 8 January 2020 Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 crashed approximately 15 kilometres north-east of the city shortly after takeoff from nearby Tehran Imam Khomeini International Airport, killing all 176 people on board.

The city is also accessible from Tehran Imam Khomeini International Airport via the Tehran-Qom freeway.
