The purpose of this study is to evaluate the appropriateness of the development of Tabriz metropolis based on the principles of urban viability. The present study is in the category of applied research that has been done with case-analysis method and quantitative approach. Due to the nature of the data and the impossibility of controlling the behavior of the effective variables in the problem is also non-experimental. Initially, using the existing standards, the desired and ideal values of each of the operational indicators were compiled and the values of each indicator in each of the 10 regions were extracted. To collect data, documentary-library methods including detailed sources of population and housing census and statistics of Tabriz metropolis (2016-2017), comprehensive plan (2016) and detailed (2012) of Tabriz, as well as distribution of questionnaires and field observations were used. Is. Data were analyzed using one-sample t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Pearson correlation, multiple linear regression and Scheffe post hoc test in SPSS software. In order to model the structural equations of livability using structural equations in Amos software, the most important influential variables of development (economic, social, physical, institutional and environmental) in evaluating the viability of Tabriz metropolis were studied. The results of the study indicate a poor evaluation of these items so that a small number are in a stable state and in other cases, including physical, economic and environmental indicators are in an unstable state. The results of this study also show that the development of Tabriz metropolis in recent decades is not commensurate with the principles of livability and the share of regions is not the same in terms of viability and sustainability indicators.
