Investigating the capability of Smart City in Tehran

The present research has sought to identify the features and capabilities of the smart city and their status in Tehran, identifying the strengths and weaknesses of this city in comparison with the smart city. For this purpose, first, the models and foundations of the smart city and its features presented by other researchers have been studied. The result of this study was to categorize Smart City features into six categories. The field survey of the topic by descriptive-survey method showed that these characteristics are confirmed by the statistical community as the characteristics of the smart city. With the ranking of 50 effective features, in addition to identifying important features in each category, 10 characteristics were identified as the most effective characteristics. The results show that among 50 characteristics, Tehran has only a relatively good status in eight characteristics. In other words, 84% of the characteristics in Tehran are not well-suited. The existence of such a situation cannot be ruled out by the integrated management factors on the affairs of the city of Tehran; there is no long-term plan for Tehran, and the relationship between people and government and the authorities is not related to partnership and cooperation
