The United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-HABITAT) proposes a new approach to correcting the theory of sustainable urban planning. The purpose of this approach was to help create a lasting relationship between residents and urban space and increase the value of urban land. This approach is based on 5 principles, which are 3 key features of cities and sustainable neighborhoods; supports compactness, integrity and connectivity. Due to the importance of the concept of sustainability, especially at the local scale, this study pays a comparative comparison of measuring the sustainability of organic and planned neighborhoods by using the indicators introduced in the United Nations Human Settlements Programme with a case study of Sajad and Noghan neighborhoods in Mashhad. This research is a type of applied research, in terms of descriptive-analytical nature and in terms of quantitative and qualitative methods. In data collection, various methods of interview, observation and field survey have been used. The data have been introduced based on the analysis of quantitative indicators and descriptive-analytical maps. Findings show that based on sustainability indicators (suitable space for street, high density, mixed use, social mixing, limiting specialized land use and access), new neighborhood of Sajad based on indicators of suitable space for street and a street network efficient, social mixing and access to services are in a better position compared to the old neighborhood of Noghan.
