Abstract: (6364 Views)

In order to compete in the international arena, cities attempt to enhance their infrastructures to encourage innovation. In all successful and innovative cities, there are three effective levels including creative people, urban organizations (which act as mediator), and national and international companies. In fact, these intermediate organizations play the role of an interconnector between creative people with new ideas and national and international companies (for commercializing new and creative ideas and having economic development). The purpose of this research is to predict the future of Mashhad and propound related scenarios about the relation between the three above-mentioned levels in vision 1404, and finally develop the strategies required for achieving the desirable scenario of innovative city formation in Mashhad. This is a fundamental applied research in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical (consecutive mixed method) in terms of nature and methodology, which has used scenario-planning in six steps. Data were extracted using questionnaire and semi-structured interview. After analyzing the data, four scenarios were planned, and finally the scenario of the golden city was selected as the desirable scenario and several strategies were suggested for achieving such a scenario.
