Experience of new cities in Iran has a long history. Cities like Abadan, Shushtrano, Zahedan, Noshahr and various industrial cities are among its examples. The strategy of new cities began after the approval of the Cabinet of Ministers in 1986, and the responsibility for the construction of these cities was delegated to civil engineering companies. However, the policy of locating new cities in our country has not been favorable and has been more concerned with the fact of state ownership of the land, neglecting other regulations of locating such as urban development capability, proximity to major economic centers, accessibility to roads, desirable distance from the mother city, paying attention to the population centers of the region, attention to the geographical and natural criteria of the region and ... As a result, the new cities have not succeeded in achieving their goals. Shahr-e-Jadid (new city) of Baharestan is one of the four new towns of Isfahan, which has a relatively good location, and has therefore succeeded in some way in attracting and settling the population.

New cities have a history of several thousand years as newly built settlements without initial nuclei, which are based on previously thought plan and structure (Narimani, 1998, p. 12). In Iran, due to changes caused by influence of capitalism, urban network and system have gone out of equilibrium, and phenomena such as concentration of regional metropolises, population accumulation, massive migration and accelerated urbanization have come into existence that have in turn led to many problems. In this regard, the policy of constructing new cities was raised in late 1985 as a practical and scientific solution for reduction of these problems and as a new experience and fundamental movement in the country's urban system.

New cities are newly-built settlements that lack the previous initial core, built on a pre-designed plan and structure, with thousands of years of history in the world.Indeed, it can be argued that the discussion of new cities is as old as urban history, but the idea of creating new cities in its classical and extensive form should be sought in the early twentieth century. The Theory of New Cities is inspired by various theories, and Ebenezer Howard has been recognized as its main theorist.The industrial revolution and its consequences led to the expansion of urbanization and acceleration of urbanization, especially in mother cities, which have faced serious problems through industrial developments and expansion of capitalism in large cities. In developing countries, with increasing population growth, especially urban population, numerous problems have appeared. Disproportionate distribution of population across the countries and mass concentration of population in large cities has led to problems such as housing shortage, marginal settlement, high population density, traffic congestion, air pollution, destruction of agricultural lands around large cities, etc., which call for special measures. One of the measures was to create new cities to reduce major problems and organize the space in those areas. In fact, the goals and strategies of the new cities are often based on demographic decentralization. The urbanization process in our country has also been influenced by the developments and dominance of capitalism and has been steadily increasing over the past decades. The urban area of Isfahan is not isolated from the situation of the urbanization system of the country and has high urbanization coefficients which has led to numerous consequences and problems in the region. In order to reduce these problems, absorption of population overflows of this city and settling the employees of the industrial sector in the region have been reviewed and creation of new cities has been confirmed. Shahr Jadid Baharestan (the New City of Baharestan) is considered as the main basis for this paper, which has been examined and evaluated through different frameworks.
