"Ghazan expanded on the construction works of his father Arghun at Sham, building his mosque-mausoleum vaqf complex there so that the place became a thriving suburb of Tabriz. Being a Muslim, he was the first Mongol ruler whose place of burial was publicly known. Masashi Haneda has analysed Ghazan's complex in considerable detail, listing to the extent possible the religious and charitable institutions that accompanied the royal mausoleum. Haneda understands Ghazaniya as a separate city representing a new type of urbanism that suited the nomadic Mongols. He calls this type the 'pastoral and mausoleum city', discussing geographical, economic and political factors determining the choice of the location of Ghazaniya and ensuring its survival. Haneda argues convincingly that the vaqf was of utmost importance for the continued existence of such places."
