Abstract
The construction industry is currently facing a multitude of challenges, primarily attributed to the inadequate implementation of urban plans and programs, leading to accelerated deterioration of infrastructure. Over the past three decades, urban development practices have largely been driven by implicit attitudes and personal perceptions of those involved, lacking a foundation in established intellectual models. This study, conducted with an applied focus, utilized a descriptive-analytical approach that encompassed both library research and on-site investigations, including a Delphi survey for expert input and evaluation. Experts have identified physical, legal, and environmental criteria as more significant than economic and societal factors in urban development assessments. The research findings indicate that the quality of urban life is perceived favorably based on the construction process, with areas ranked in the following order as 1, 2, 6, 4, 3, and 5. Notably, factors such as land use changes, economic valuation of land and buildings, and density sales regulations have been highlighted as key influencers on the quality of life in District 3 of Tehran Municipality. District 6 is identified as economically preferable, District 2 excels in social criteria, and District 1 leads in environmental considerations compared to other disticts. The transformation of District 3 into a more densely populated area due to increased construction activities has resulted in reduced per capita access to green spaces and essential services.
