This paper is about sustainable development and its constituent elements in urban planning, and in order to introduce this issue, which has an important place in urban studies and literature.

Establishing areas for participatory planning development (citizen participation in urban plans), ensuring the participation of all groups with interest in the city’s affairs, coordination among minor and major plans, promoting and expanding sustainable urban development methods and utilizing auxiliary tools for urban management form the main theme of sustainable urban development.
