Abstract

New cities established in every period of time anywhere have their own specifications, and most of their settlement impacts have produced many ENVIRONMENTAL problems. In fact, new cities are built to meet certain requirements such as absorption of excess population, provision of dwelling, and many other needs, but no attention is paid to their origin in the process of sustainable development as far as ENVIRONMENTAL planning and design are concerned. In Iran, there was a need for new cities, due to population increase over the years. Therefore, the construction of 26 new cities was approved by the Higher Council for Architecture and Urbanization. The location of many of the new cities in Iran is determined by certain factors such as socio-economic parameters, but the ENVIRONMENTAL CRITERIA are usually ignored in this regard. The new city of Hashtgerd, which is located in the west of Tehran Province and which is to provide residence for some 500,000 people by 1390, is selected as the biggest new city of the country. In this study, the location of Hashtgerd is assessed based on MC HARG CRITERIA and on the ECOLOGICAL MODEL of development for urban, rural, and industrial land use. The results show that some ENVIRONMENTAL parameters such as slope, bed rock, depth, structure of soil, and planting are considered appropriately in selecting the site of the new city of Hashtgerd. However, some parameters such as earthquake and supplying water resources seem to have been ignored. The results of the study also show that certain CRITERIA such as air pollution, water resources, soil, wildlife, and some infrastructures should be considered as the main ENVIRONMENTAL CRITERIA in the selection of the site for any new city in Iran.
