Abstract
Population growth in urban areas, especially in areas with organic structures, has led to problems such as traffic caused by narrow passages and difficulties related to intervention in its structures. Many of these problems are solved through planning at the neighborhood level. One of the approaches proposed in the last few decades to solve urban problems is the smart city approach, which affects the urban system. Therefore, the current research aims to evaluate the sustainability of the historical context based on the smart city approach. In terms of methodology, based on the nature of the goal, it is of an applied type, and based on the nature of the method, it is of a descriptive-case and analytical-prescriptive type. We have used library, document, and field methods and questionnaires to collect information. We used confirmatory factor analysis in SPSS software and quantitative strategic planning matrix QSPM for data analysis. The research results also show that, finally, after analyzing and discussing the characteristics, the Sanbulistan neighborhood has the potential and necessary infrastructure to become a neighborhood that conforms to the indicators of a smart city. Among the essential solutions proposed in this field are the revival and economic productivity and the promotion of intelligent business through encouraging entrepreneurship and the development of startups, as well as the expansion of neighborhood online businesses related to the services needed by residents, the development of the intelligent bicycle plan and the provision of superior facilities to bike paths
