Urban areas are continually evolving, facing increasing pressures from environmental, social, and economic challenges. Developing a sustainable urban regeneration model that prioritizes the enhancement of urban space quality is essential for creating resilient, vibrant, and livable cities for current and future generations. The urban regeneration approach, as a dynamic process of restoration and renovation of urban fabrics, is based on the concept of sustainable developmen,. The aim of this study is to explain the main indicators affecting the concept of urban regeneration with the approach of optimizing urban spaces. This research is of a descriptive-analytical type, which aims for development, but its fundamental characteristic can be highlighted, particularly in explaining the depth of the theoretical foundations, as well as the proposed model and framework. The method of data collection involves both library and field methods, utilizing references such as the architecture departments of academic institutions and international data sources, along with field-level observations. First, after examining the theoretical foundations and the research history in two dimensions procedure and content emphasis is placed on clarifying the objective without repetition. Factors are then extracted as the result of the research framework, and the Delphi method is used to propose final indicators in the form of a model. The findings show 7 most significant factors are greenery, employment, investment, citizen engagement, amenities, stakeholder involvement and pollution control. Finally, the presented structural model underscores that sustainable urban regeneration is not the result of isolated actions but a coordinated effort across multiple domains.
Highlights
Urban resilience is a crucial factor in designing cities that can withstand crises and undesirable changes
Sustainable urban form is essential for creating resilient urban environments, particularly in urban regeneration efforts
This study investigates how sustainable regeneration impacts the physical and social aspects of historic and deteriorated urban areas
Using an analytical-descriptive approach, data was collected through library research and surveys, focusing on evaluation based on specific dimensions and indicators
The findings aim to enhance strategies for revitalizing aging urban zones to promote more resilient and sustainable city development
