Abstract

 Lack of attention to environmental factors and the use of nature tools have led to an
imbalance in the development of the township and has serious consequences, especially for
future generations. Sustainable urban development is in fact a solution to ecological balance
alongside achieving economic and social growth. In this regard, the development and
development of ecosystems is considered as a model for future cities that will lead to mutual
economic, social and environmental synergies. As a new concept that has received great
attention in international societies in recent decades, Ecushahr illustrates how a sustainable city
comes from theory. But one of the problems at first glance at building an ecosystem seems to
be the complexity of ecosystem development indicators, especially in developing countries and
in some cases not being implemented at all. On the other hand, there are some practical points,
particularly in the area of sustainability in Iran’s past architecture and urbanization that have
not only been unknown in the world, but have been neglected over time by promoting Western
architectural and urban style, but today we see even architecture And modern urbanization
inspired by historic investments and minor changes to them has reused them, while reviving
these principles in Iran is still a lie. Architecture is an art that has always been enriched by the
evolution of the people’s experiences of the different periods of history, and the historical and
traditional contexts have an architectural typology that has responded very well to climatic and
cultural issues. The result of human awareness of the socio-economic, environmental, and
cultural issues and problems has been the emergence of the concept of sustainability in the
1970s. One of the most important goals of the manifestation of sustainable development in the
built environment is called sustainable architecture.
