Abstract
The subject of sustainable urban development is considered as an important scientific subject among all urban communities. Therefore, in recent years, a considerable part of literature on urban development has been devoted to this issue. With regard to this fact, different aspects of sustainable development from various perspectives has been studied, analyzed and evaluated.
