“…Spatial transformation, urban creep and irregular distribution of services and facilities in Tehran: the problems of Tehran intensified after the 1960s due to reasons such as an oil-oriented economy, the decline of the rural economy, fast population growth and government investment in large cities (Pilehvar, 2021). Thus, in addition to the social, economic, cultural and political transformations (Mashayekhi, 2019), extreme changes in the physical and spatial growth of Tehran changed it from a dispersed urban district to a single-core city (Pazhuhan, 2021). The city thus expanded, and its population grew day by day.…”

“…These scholars eventually propose strategic spatial planning to reduce the spatial inequalities in the Tehran metropolis. (Molaei Qelichi et al, 2017), urban development plans and national modernization (Mashayekhi, 2019), the unsustainable change in land use (Taravat et al, 2017), excessive government intervention in land affairs (Meshkini et al, 2019), inefficient urban policies (Meshkin et al, 2021), inefficient residential policies (Zarghamfard et al, 2019), unbalanced distribution of physical residential indices (Marsosi et al, 2021), industrialization in Tehran (Pazhuhan, 2021), the flow of oil revenues (Hein & Sedighi, 2016), inadequate regulations and limited privatization (Yousefi & Farahani, 2019), the unbalanced distribution of urban cooling ecosystem services (Ghorbani et al, 2022) and income inequalities (Noroozi et al, 2020) as the most important factors contributing to spatial inequality in Tehran metropolis. Studies such as those of Yousefi and Farahani (2019) and Zarghamfard and Meshkini (2021) reveal that the spatial inequality in Tehran residential quality stems from the Iranian capitalist features and imported neoliberal policies.…”

Research objective: the present study seeks to assess and analyze the status of residential quality indicators in the 22 urban regions of the Tehran metropolis. Methodology: 79 residential quality variables are classified into the four indicators of physical, economic, ecological, and socio-cultural indices. Shannon entropy model, the coefficient of variation, TOPSIS, hotspot analysis, and Moran spatial autocorrelation were used for data analysis. Results: Results of the present study indicated a TOPSIS score of 0.58 for the integrated indicators which revealed region 1 had the best and region 15 had the worst status. In fact, a sort of divergence and heterogeneity rules residential quality indicators in Tehran urban regions, so that among the 22 urban regions of the city, around 4.5% were advantaged while 13.6% were relatively advantaged, 77.3% were semi- advantaged, and 4.5% were less advantaged. Results of statistical spatial analysis also indicate that the advantaged clusters were located in northern and northeastern parts of the city while the less advantaged and extremely less advantaged clusters were more focused in the southern and southeastern parts of the city, and residential quality indicators followed a cluster pattern. Conclusion: A spatial difference and inequality in residential quality index distribution were observed in the 22 urban regions of Tehran so that the regions located in the southern and southeastern parts of the city had an unfavorable status in terms of residential quality indicators while the northern and northeastern regions were more advantaged in this regard.
