Primarily, with a comparative analysis of a variety of urban sustainability indicator models, a collection of 54 indicators have been chosen and categorized as indicators of increase or decrease in urban environmental quality in the form of a simple mathematical model. Based on the aforementioned model, Tehran’s environmental quality in 2006, having obtained a score of 59.5%, has been evaluated as “middle ranking”. After continuing the evaluation more meticulously, it became known that the individual healthcare indicator with a 91% score and the safety and security indicator with a 19% score had the highest and lowest quality respectively in the city. Repeating this evaluation in the future will show the condition of the city’s movement toward establishing a sustainable city. Furthermore, it will clearly demonstrate the reasons affecting the high or low speed of this movement. %U https://ijer.ut.ac.ir/article_339_b9439170686f48a0bbfc4eefb8e3f5dd.pdf
