If the development of the local economy relies on the improvement of competitive local enterprises, it will attract domestic investment, improve human capital, increase work skills, improve local infrastructure and balanced economic development in the localities. Creativity as a foundation can cause economic growth and development in many contemporary societies. As a cultural and commercial source, creative industries are the most powerful part of the economy, and their use in planning areas leads to the development of the local economy and, consequently, the development of the national economy. The creative city will also lead to economic growth and development by having creative industries and attracting creative forces. Farahzad neighborhood has the ability to adopt the creative city approach in strengthening the local economy in order to improve the employment situation and empower people for two reasons: one is that it has suitable ecological resources and active institutions, and the second is that it suffers from unfavorable socio-economic conditions and the existence of informal jobs. This research has been done in three stages to achieve its goals. In the first step, by reviewing the theoretical literature, the dimensions of talent, technology, tolerance, land property and urban participation were determined. In the second stage, areas with planning priority based on existing spatial, social and physical commonalities include; low security, inadequate access and roads, existence of environmental problems, lack of ownership documents, low level of social interactions in the area, economic problems, poor condition of housing and existence of cultural differences between different ethnic groups were identified. In the last step, the criteria in the eligible planning areas were evaluated through interviews. Then, by analyzing the interviews through the MAXQDA software, the role of the components in the development of the local economy of Farahzad has been identified. Therefore, each of the examined dimensions was considered as follows: the dimension of land assets with seven components include; historical background, role of tourism, religion, traditional gardens, Farahzad river, restaurants and mountain section; the technology dimension with the component of having mobile internet; talent dimension with four components i.e., Possession of cultural institutions, residents' skills, desire to learn skills and desire for education, and urban participation dimension with three components; enjoying the diversity of different ethnic groups, following up on existing problems and participating in construction projects.

The idea of a creative city emphasizes that at first glance, there are always potential opportunities in cities that, if considered by city planners and managers, can have a lasting effect on the flourishing of urban creativity. Although the basis of urban creativity is cultural indicators, but the wide range of urban capacities from human and social capital to cultural, educational, scientific, religious, social and economic facilities have fewer grounds for the emergence of creativity. Tehran, as the capital and the most important metropolis of the country, has vast capacities to take steps towards a creative city. Ethnic and cultural diversity, specialized creative class, and many spatial capacities are among the most important advantages of Tehran to be a creative city. In this study, through survey work and specialized CVI and CVR questionnaires completed by 25 urban planning specialists and professors, several valid and reliable spatial-ecological indicators that affect urban creativity were identified. Then, by compiling a qualitative questionnaire based on the statistical population of 9423703 people in Tehran metropolis and a sample population of 385 people, using urban planning models and using ArcGIS10.3, SPSS 21 and Topsis Solver3.1.0 software, the analysis was performed. By summarizing the results of questionnaires and statistical analyzes of spatial indicators, 17 out of 22 districts of Tehran were in very poor to good clusters and five districts were in very good and excellent clusters. District 6, being located in cluster 1, had the conditions of a creative city, and districts 17 and 21, being located in cluster 5, were recognized as outside the general framework of the creative city.

Today, the existing infrastructure in cities, especially metropolises, should be attractive platforms for attracting and cultivating the talents, innovations and ideas of citizens. The importance of creative cities in today's competitive world is linked to big cities that are centers of wealth and innovation. The metropolis of Tabriz, as one of the historical cities of Iran, has always been a source of wealth and technology. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the role of effective components on the realization of creative cities in Tabriz. The type of research is applied and its method is descriptive-analytical. Pearson and multivariate regression tests were used to analyze the data and ANP and TOPSIS models were used to prioritize urban areas based on creative city indicators. The statistical population of the study is the ten regions of Tabriz and their population. The research indicators include 10 criteria with 16 sub-criteria. The results of statistical tests showed that there is a positive and significant correlation between all components of the creative city and the level of creativity in the urban areas of Tabriz at the level of 0.000. The results of Pearson test showed that the two variables of creativity infrastructure and creative class with 0.587 and 0.557 had the highest level of significance with the realization of the creative city. The results of ANP model showed that the two criteria of creativity infrastructure and creative class are of higher importance with a score of 0.398 and 0.269, respectively. Districts 1 and 2 have better conditions due to the concentration of creative infrastructure and creative class such as professors, students, elites and doctors. As a result, some solutions such as the development of elite recruitment centers, maintaining the creative class, balanced investment in all areas in order to develop the city of Tabriz based on the indicators of the creative city are significant.
