The process of locating new cities includes regional studies, initial choice of a number of places, preparation of selection criteria, application of criteria on different places and choosing the best alternative, meaning the more appropriate place for the development of the new city. This locating has a direct effect on the success or failure of new cities and, since the place of the city has an effective role in attracting population or their absorption (assimilation) in different dimensions, the new cities that manage to accommodate for the population can achieve their aims. The locating of new cities has a direct relation to the intended aims of establishing these cities. In our country, locating of new cities has been usually carried out by the goal of absorbing the extra population of a mother-city, and the new cities whose locations have been determined around the country, are placed in connection with a mother-city. The locating of the new city of Sahand, the subject of discussion in the present paper, is in connection with a mother city (Tabriz) and with the aim of absorbing the overflow of that city’s population. The place of the new city of Sahand has been chosen without any regional view and merely by examination of a number of criteria.

Today environmental sustainability and improvement of urban environment are among the main concerns of urban experts and designers, which have become more pronounced in metropolitan areas due to complexity of spaces and functions. To solve this problem, various solutions have been suggested by experts whose implementation is not practical due to high costs. Hence, a more convenient way of resolving this problem is to create urban green space. The green space of city, which has both social and environmental efficiency, determines shape of city as a vital factor along with city's body, and it is important to develop it as a solution to the environmental problems. The construction of green space and tree planting across the city have their own standards and regulations that should be considered in their design. In this research, which is of applied type and uses descriptive-analytical method, the degree of acceptability of green space utilization in the city, per capita standards of green space in Iran and the world, existing and applicable standards in the field of tree planting, appropriate standards concerning their density and deploy, as well as rules and regulations related to their design in the urban area are studied.
