Abstract
The issue of urban decline in city centers and horizontal expansion of the city and its consequences is a challenge in sustainable development of the cities. In this regard, new approaches were shaped to define career planning, urban design and urban environmental quality concerns in New-urbanism pattern. The critical approach to modern urban pattern was formed based on scattered, non-human and machine, with special emphasis on the role of man in contemporary urban spaces. This approach is based on applying the principles of traditional urbanism in the age of postmodernism. The present study introduces new-urbanism approach towards creating enhanced urban environment which is of great importance in modern urban development in the context of sustainable development goals. For this purpose, we used the principles of new urbanism including mixed use, diversity of housing, smart transportation and walkability for qualitative evaluation of Azadshahr district of Mashhad metropolitan city.

The Ddevelopments in life scales with attention to environment and new urban planning values in recent years has been resulted in substantial changes in urban design at the study area.
