The growth of the urban population and the increase in migration to the cities has led to the uncontrollable development of urban areas, a decrease in the level of human well-being, reaching the suburbs and the emergence of many problems for various city managers. has become urban planners and designers. One of the important topics related to urban issues is the concept of sustainable urban development, which is considered a development based on real needs and rational decisions. With this approach, the aim of this research is to investigate the amount of sustainable urban design indicators derived from the Iranian city model. The type of research is applied in terms of its purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of its method, and it tries to answer the question “to what extent can the components of sustainable urban design derived from the Iranian city model be applied in Tehran metropolis and peri-urban areas. recreated and adapted?” The research results show; Since the most important component in Iranian neighborhoods is social solidarity and ecological sustainability and adaptation to nature; The body is also formed in response to this feature. According to the conducted investigations, in terms of dimensions, physical indicators and standards of sustainable urban design, District 22 has the potential to redefine sustainability criteria within itself as a suburban area. In this regard, in order to achieve sustainable development, local institutions and people should be involved in the issue, and this requires the creation of civil societies.
