Based on human need toward sustainable development in addition to the cities and citizens phenomena as the main stimulators for moving into sustainability, the United Nations suggested a goal as “Urban Sustainable Development” meaning to “make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable”. Achieving to Urban Sustainable Development is essentially dealing with conducting “Standard Project Management” a long with sustainable development indices. Thus, the main objective of this research was investigation on achieving Urban Sustainab le Development through Standard Project Management. For this purpose, five big environmental urban projects were selected based on the city reports and experts’ recommendations. The projects were evaluated based on their compliance with 10 knowledge area of Proj ect Management Body of Knowledge Guide (PMBOK Standard) and also based on the four environmental indices in Sustainable Development Goals agenda issued by United Nations. For analyzing, the method of “Analytic Hierarchy Process” was applied in order to extract the weight of each PMBOK knowledge area for every five projects. The “Expert Choic e” application was also applied to run the method and the results were compared with th e results from USD indices. The final results showed that the average scores for “Esfahan environmental projects”, “the indices averaged from similar research” and “the averages for PMBOK conducting” were 54, 50 and 48, respectively. The slight difference between the averages showed that running urban projects based on the PMBOK standard would lead cities toward sustainable development.

Permeability and access problems are two trai ts of worn-out and inefficient fabrics of cities; However, rarely they have been studied in a systematic and non-narrative way. By examining the spatial structure of Isfahan using Space Syntax, It has been tried to study on place of worn-out and inefficient districts, and neighborhoods of Esfahan in spatial structure of city meanwhile introducing an appropriate way to study and analyze the structural conditions of the residential areas of cities. By using " integration" index, the ability to move and communicate in the city, and in target districts, were quantitatively modeled in macro, intermediate and local level, and the integration value of the target districts in relative to the entire city were analyzed by using five circumstantial evidences (average, minimum, maximum, standard deviation and the mean difference of integration value of city and target districts). The results show that the integration value of the target district spat ial structure in all t hree levels is lower than other city neighborhoods; confirming the weakness of accessibility and permeability of these areas in the city. So, the results of the analysis using Space Syntax show a significant direct relationship between spatial structure of neighborhoods included worn-out fabrics and other neighborhoods with their status, in a systematic way, and suggest the effectiveness of these methods in the study of the same issues.

Urban areas allocated the major part of the daily lives of citizens. Planning and design experiences of urban spaces has shown that these spaces in responding to the needs of children, as the most sensitive and important cla ss of society, were ineffective, and most of urban plannings are done based on adults’ wishes and needs.
