Abstract

Urban prosperity is considered a new and fundamental approach to explain the vision and path of development and its more specific example, sustainability in today's cities, which are facing many problems in different dimensions. On the other hand, the concept of this approach promotes a new pattern or model of urban design based on global theories and at the same time adaptable to contextual and local conditions, nature and dynamics. Considering the importance of planning and designing today's cities based on urban prosperity indicators, the present research was written with the aim of developing a sustainable development realization patern based on prosperity indicators in Alishahr new city. In this regard, the research method is mixed (combination of quantitative-qualitative approaches) with practical purpose and analytical-developmental nature. The statistical population of the research included experts and city officials of Alaishahr, which due to the unknown number of the statistical population, was used Cohen's formula to determine the sample size at the 95% confidence level, and the sample size was estimated to be 90 people. In order to analyze data and information, was used structural equation modeling method in AMOS software. The findings of the research show that the most important variables affecting the realization of Urban prosperity in Alishahr new city are respectively infrastructures, productivity, quality of life, equality and participation and environmental sustainability, which respectively, their influence based on the structural model is 0.79, 0.67, 0.58, 0.56 and 0.51. Also, the components of emphasis on intelligentization of various functions, diversity in businesses, improvement of citizenship skills, vitality of urban spaces and proper access to various facilities and urban services are among the components that influence the realization of urban prosperity in Alishahr.
