Demographics

Population

At the time of the 2006 National Census, the city's population was 9,592 in 2,605 households, when it was in the former Abbasabad District of Tonekabon County.^[6] The following census in 2011 counted 8,654 people in 2,560 households,^[7] by which time the district had been separated from the county in the establishment of Abbasabad County. The city was transferred to the new Kelarabad District.^[5]^[c] The 2016 census measured the population of the city as 9,656 people in 3,057 households,^[2] when the district's name had changed to Salmanshahr District.^[4]

Economy

Tourism is an important part of the city's economy.^[8] In the late 2000s the major development and construction projects called "Qoo" or "Diamond of the Middle East" were kicked off. The core of these projects is built in the same place as where Motel Qoo was located. This vast complex of commercial, residential, tourist, sports, and entertainment include a 5-star hotel, two residential and commercial towers, a sports complex, and a six-story parking garage that is built in the form of a giant ship. This project has a total land area of 43,263 m² (465,680 sq ft), where 173,000 m² (1,860,000 sq ft) of it will be constructed as follows:
