Abstract
Although population growth is the primary cause of urban sprawl, however sprawl has unreasonable adverse effects on natural and cultural environment which affects communities. Great efforts to overcome the negative effects of urban development has grown whose main strategy of "smart growth" as one of the strategies to combat "sprawl" and smart growth, urban development, in fact is an alternative to sprawl. The increasing pattern of development is one of the tools of smart growth and the realization of sustainable development is the obvious example. Shortage of land, natural and artificial barriers to horizontal expansion of cities, the locating of city on risky zones and faults, high costs of creating infrastructure services and utilities, as well as, some considerations related to environmental sustainability, development and originality of the old urban texture, reducing waste and energy investment, suitable transport network, all have led to the development pattern and the increasing investment in the urban context.
By the horizontal spread and development of the city, sometimes the natural constraints face cost increases in utilities. If we add the number of aged residents tissue to the above number, probably about half of the population is poor under rough living conditions. Due to the increasing development and improvement of old tissue and the encouragement of low-density settlement in downtown areas, such problems could be solved.
In this study to evaluate the potential synergies, the historical-cultural city of for has been selected and detailed design of the data is used Tabriz 6th district master plan. In order to evaluate the potential synergies have been determined between its model and them. Finally, with regard to the status quo and the outgoing model, this result was obtained that the increased development and changes in the texture of the surface will promote stability in the city and provide an appropriate physical structure.
