Over the past few decades, sustainable urban development has become one of the most important and influential theoretical approaches in urban policy. Sustainable development means to supply the needs of the current generation without harming the needs of the next generation. Therefore, with this approach, any urban intervention and construction of urban projects should be prudent and based on this view. Undoubtedly, conducting studies on" ATAF" is an essential step towards achieving these important goals. The present study evaluates the effects and socio-cultural consequences (ATAF) of Saeed Abad Highway in district quantitative and qualitative methods (interview and observation) has been used in the study. Research data have been collected through individuals and residents of the highway area who are likely to be affected by the Saeed Abad project. The theoretical approach of the research is Lefebvre's theory of the social dimensions of urban spaces. The research findings show that Saeed Abad urban project, like any other projects, has positive consequences and effects such as facilitating public transportation, and negative consequences such as dissatisfaction of project opponents, psychological pressure on residents, creating hangouts for drug dealers, destruction of green space and gardens and increase of environmental pollution.
