Conceptual Approach to the Tehran-North Freeway Project from the Perspective of Miller’s Living Systems

Abstract
Having a systematic approach will greatly help stakeholders to know more about the communications, needs, and processes of the project. The approach to living systems that have been expressed by Miller, however, is derived from the field of biology, but due to its dynamic nature, it is also applicable to other fields of science. In this study, we tried to investigate the Tehran-North freeway, an Iranian project from the standpoint of living systems. For this purpose, after describing Miller's approach, a brief description of the mentioned project will be presented in order to model the project flow from two perspectives material/energy and information using living systems. According to the modeling, a good similarity between the living systems and the structure of the project could be observed.
