This July 6, 2019 photo shows residential towers in District 22, that consists of apartment high-rises and shopping malls arranged around an artificial lake called Chitgar, under construction on the northwestern edge of Tehran, Iran. Iran’s large middle class has been hit hard by the fallout from unprecedented U.S. sanctions, including the collapse of the national currency. Perhaps most devastating has been the doubling of housing prices. The spike has uprooted tenants and made home ownership unattainable for most. (AP Photo/Ebrahim Noroozi)
