Abstract

In order to construct non-religious religious buildings, geometric, mathematical and design signs should be used. The purpose of this study is to investigate Iranian-Islamic architecture and urban planning and compare it with the principles of sustainable urban development in order to determine that Iranian-Islamic architecture and urban planning are compatible with sustainable urban development. Therefore, the main question of the research is whether Iranian-Islamic architecture and urban planning have the criteria for sustainable urban development.  It seems that Iranian-Islamic architecture and urban architecture are in line with the criteria of sustainable urban development. The method used in this research is qualitative. By studying the library resources and examining the views of experts in relation to the concept of Iranian-Islamic architecture and urban planning and sustainable development, we try to describe the characteristics of Iranian-Islamic architecture and urban planning with the criteria of sustainable development so that the relationship between them shows that Iranian-Islamic architecture and urban planning and the principles and criteria governing it are in line with the characteristics of sustainable urban development and its sustainability is more than architecture And it is modern urban planning that has dominated the cities of Iran today. Therefore, the research hypothesis about the compatibility of Iranian-Islamic architecture and urban planning with the criteria of sustainable urban development is confirmed.
