Abstract
The basis of all main themes related to a smart city includes indicators and components i.e. people, transportation, economy, life, governance and the smart environment. Therefore, in the planning of a smart city and region, attention should be paid to all of the above aspects, with an emphasis on smart infrastructure in order to solve the problems of metropolitan regions. The main goal of this research is to identify the dimensions and characteristics of smart regions and their conditions in Tehran metropolis. The method applied in this research is descriptive-analytical while emphasizing its applicability and the method of collecting information is based on documentary and library studies as well as survey technique, including the preparation and completion of a questionnaire. Based on the investigations and the existing imbalances in the spatial system of Tehran's smart region, Shemiranat, Tehran and Firuzkoh have been placed in the homogeneous zone and are ranked from first to third in terms of three economic, social-cultural and environmental indicators. The cities of Mallard, Quds, Islam Shahr, Rey, Pakdasht and Baharestan are ranked from fourth to fifth zones and are in the last category. The most important solutions and measures needed to improve the existing conditions include things such as the creation of a regional transportation agency, transportation planning to equip the new political administrative center to the airport (transformation), preparation of a systematic plan and intelligent and integrated tracking of goods and passenger transportation in the province.
