【 摘 要 】

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the distribution of residentialquality indicators in the 22 districts of Tehran with emphasis on the urbaninequality approach. The research method is descriptive-analytical and prescriptivewith its scope being the 22 districts of Tehran in 2016. The TOPSIS model,Coefficient of Variation (CV), Moran's spatial autocorrelation, and Gi statistic(hot-spot analysis) have been used to analyze the data. Data were collected usinglibrary and documentary methods. The findings indicate that the 22 districtsof Tehran have heterogeneity and divergence in terms of the selected residentialquality indicators. This paper found a significant relationship between the qualityof residence and social classes in Tehran. Throughout its development, the socialclasses of Tehran have become more distinct and its rich and poor districts –in the north, center and south of the metropolis – have separated more vividly.To solve the detrimental spatial inequality of Tehran and achieve sustainabledevelopment, the paper suggests the importance of applying the true nature ofurban planning , especially in terms of residential planning primarily in the partsof the metropolis that inequality is predominantly observed.
