Urban sustainable development (case study Darreh Shahr city)

Appraisement and report of cities sustainable development have started in some counties especially in the developed countries, for some years and their main goal is investigating the sustainability or unsustainability of development of cities. According to the investigation of varying parts of city and its comparison with country average, it is found that most of social economic and environmental indices are low in comparison with the average value of the country. Keeping the livestock, low per capita of green area, problems of potable water, weakness of the garbage collection system, incompetence in wastewater disposal, constructions, air pollution, urban traffic and etc. are the problems of this city making unstable environmental, social and economic conditions of Dahreshar city. Based on the lack of clarification of all aspects of a sustainable city and impossibility of presenting the definite solutions to achieve the sustainable city, there are some solutions to achieve the urban sustainable development of Dahreshar city such as: Increasing urban use density, reduction of reliance on cars in transportation (especially personal cars), modification of city management system, protection and renovation of natural systems around city, reduction of resources consumption to decline the pollutions. It seems that the basic cause of unsustainability of Dahreshar is dedicated to weakness of city management, and urban management review if presented for its solution (e.g. definite authority, plans, goals and executive methods and etc).
