This study was conducted to assess the selected indicators in the process of green urban development in District 22 of Tehran during a five-year period from 2011 to 2016(A study that has not been conducted for a period of time from this emerging and developing area of Tehran). For this purpose, In addition to the air quality criterion as the preferred criterion, other effective criteria for measuring urban development were identified and clarified based on theories, views and case studies in the context of the above objectives. Data analysis was performed with Expert Choice software and performance evaluation matrix and Excel spreadsheet. The results of this study indicate that the performance of clean air policy as a selected criterion during the period under review, optimal performance, particulate matter smaller than 10 microns (PM10) and sulfur dioxide (SO2), moderate performance and nitrogen dioxide pollutant (NO2) also had poor performance. The functional performance score of the green city in the study area during the five-year period was 0.545, i.e., 54.5% of the changes in urban development in this area in this period has been achieved based on the criteria of the green city and this indicates that green urban development Its significant environmental features are in the middle position and it is relatively far from the ideal point.At the end of the study, after identifying the functional weaknesses, some strategies for optimal and more efficient planning are presented.

Urban landscape can have potential in creating dynamic and livable communities when it interacts optimally with its ecological context. Underground or subsurface spaces of desert cities can be considered as a kind of spaces based on ecological wisdom that reflects socio-ecological perception and creates a cultural commitment of individuals to the correct interaction of natural environment and artificial environment. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the role of underground spaces in promoting the livability of desert cities and to emphasize planning based on ecological wisdom to create urban spaces compatible with the ecological context. The research method in this study is descriptive-analytical, based on the qualitative method and logical reasoning. To evaluate the effect of underground space functions on the livability criteria of desert cities, T-test and SPSS statistical analysis were used, and to strategically analyze underground spaces, SWOT technique and AHP hierarchical analysis were used and finally, adaptive, defensive, offensive, and contingency strategies were presented. The results indicate that the regeneration of the principles of ecological wisdom in the process of strategic planning of the subsurface spaces development requires a kind of participatory and communication planning between members of society on the one hand and also society and nature on the other hand. Such regeneration can pave the way for the sustainability, resilience, and livability of urban ecosystems.
