Abstract

Application of the concepts of sustainability and sustainable development goals to reduce energy waste and environmental pollution in the architecture led to a discussion called "sustainability" and in recent decades, it has increasingly become an important element in urban planning. Although the focus is more on the development of cities and for some reasons less attention has been paid to the neighborhoods. However, cities cannot be assumed sustainable if their parts (components such as neighborhood) lack stability. Stability criterion for neighborhoods acts as mirrors for the analysis sustainability of cities at higher-level, including aspects of economic, social and environmental factors. In this study, only urban neighborhoods and techniques for establishing environmental sustainability are taken up. The paper tries to come up with principles for designing neighborhoods without which stable neighborhoods are impossibility. These principles include green space design district, the density of the local climate, building design, texture and the climate of (solar wind). These techniques lower energy waste and gives priority to pedestrian access and makes efficient public transport a possibility.
