SUSTAINABLE SMART CITY PLANNING : A Case Study in Shiraz city, District 1st Western Qodoosi (Iran)

In recent years, cities from various parts of the world have faced with uncontrolled physical expansion due to inappropriate policies. Together with different solutions against urban sprawl, the dominant sustainable cure is the so-called 'Urban Consolidation' (UC). The goal of sustainable development would be fulfilled at all levels of spatial organization, the urban level has attracted much attention because of a continuously growing focus on people and economic activities in urban centers, especially in the developing countries. Transformations and quick changes have shown that the preparation and implementation of urban development projects, which led to the adoption of the process approach to sustainable urban planning, at the first need to identify requirements, opportunities, and objectives, and afterward, strategies, policies and the approach. Furthermore, during the time social relationships become more complex in this area, thus, knowledge and urbanization have led to the design of new topics. Among the subjects for getting people's opinions, urban management participation, understanding the main challenges and bottlenecks can be mentioned. In terms of sustainable urban development, energy consumption is another important problem in cities. Fortunately, recently reduction of energy demand is feasible through modern technologies and criteria in building construction. Therefore, this information and knowledge make it possible to achieve one integrated and sustainable urban planning. Shiraz as a metropolitan is confronted with immense urban problems including environmental pollution, ecological degradation endangering carrying capacity, resource depletion, and administrative system and incapable urban management. Problems are well justified by the existence of UN sustainable ecologic. The present research has sought to identify the features and capabilities of the sustainable smart city and their status “in a part of Shiraz that already mentioned”, identifying the strengths and weaknesses of this city in comparison with the smart city. lack of a long-term plan for Shiraz is a huge problem. The relationship between people and government and the authorities is not related to partnership and cooperation. “Urban Planning is traditionally seen as an expert discipline with little room for ‘soft’ values and concerns based on feelings rather than fact”. Furthermore, the final product of the planning process, the built environment, is a habitat for a wide variety of people with equally diverse wants and needs. The question is, how does planning incorporate the needs, wants and visions of existing and future inhabitants while at the same time raising awareness of the often complex issues and wicked problems involved in urban development? This research is mostly dealing with the needs and requirements for sustainable urban scale and sprawl green network of the city of Shiraz in district 1th (Western Qodoosi) and offers a solution for the energy-saving utilizing Architectural design/Architectural energy efficiency and implementing of solar power systems which can provides net-zero energy buildings, and also adequate urban services and a more active social life for residents and offering them comfortable modern life. Moreover, introducing opportunities and possibilities for energy saving and sustainable smart planning projects in the cities of Iran.
