Abstract (119 Views)
Aims: Cities, as high-density gathering points (population, energy, and waste), impose enormous demands on the environment and urban resources. Uncontrolled urban expansion, land-use changes, and increased carbon emissions from human activities have created serious challenges to achieving sustainable development. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility indicators of a low-carbon city in District 2 of the Tehran Metropolis.
Methodology: This survey research was conducted from April to October 2025 in District 2 of Tehran Metropolis. Using the Morgan table to determine the sample size, 125 experts and urban affairs officials were selected. The analytic hierarchy process was used to analyze the data.
Findings: The final scores of the factors affecting air pollution were, respectively, "expansion of modern public transportation" (0.357), "creation of smart infrastructure" (0.243), "creation of green spaces" (0.156), "pedestrian facilities" (0.138), public participation (0.098), and "public education" (0.086). The most appropriate options were "creation of urban green spaces" for the form index, "expansion of modern public transportation" for the transportation and infrastructure index, and "public participation" for the governance index.
Conclusion: The expansion of modern public transportation, the creation of smart infrastructure, the creation of green spaces, and also walking facilities are effective in reducing air pollution in District 2 of Tehran Metropolis.
