The aim of this research is to investigate the spatial structure of Tabriz Metropolis based on functional nuclei. The research method is descriptive-analytic research of causal-correlation type. Data collection was done in a library method. Data includes urban activities that are extracted from the census. The number of activity indicators is 25, which is classified in five main industrial, commercial, administrative, financial, service and recreational categories. And these are considered as metropolis functional nuclei. To analyze the distribution of functional nuclei from the kernel density estimation method, for analyzing spatial patterns from the mean center and the elliptic of the standard deviation, spatial correlation modeling of geographical weight regression and least squares regression have been used. The results of the research show that the spatial patterns of the functional nuclei are single-core. Tabriz is still far away from the formation of a multi-core metropolis and core subsidiary have not yet succeeded in attracting their activities and population. Spatial correlation results also show that there is a positive relationship between functional nuclei and population distribution and strengthening functional nuclei will focus the population, especially in the city center.

Since the process of increasing urbanization and its effects, has been made more important the necessity of planned about urban development. Some of the problems about this that we face are: metropolises issues, decreasing the quality of life due to more density of population and activities, new towns strategy buildings - especially in the middle of latest centaury - Thus, this model has been used in many countries (in past decades) and also it has been started since 1357 with the aim of housing for industry workers, and after the Islamic Revolution, mainly to absorb the metropolis crowd overflow.
Now, after more than one-fourth century and beginning of attracting population process for some of new towns, the main purpose of the article is the answer to this question, that "how much this policy was successful?". And we compare the performance of Sahand new town about the absorption of Tabriz metropolis crowd overflow with prior goals that are based on documental and survey methods on sample include 350 household, production and servicing units.
Findings show that, Sahand new town was clearly retarded of contingency planning about buildings, especially population absorption and employment. But the predicted performances to attract the overflow crowd of Tabriz and provide house, some deal orientation resolved to realize the goals.
