Abstract :
Background and Objective: Today, on the city’s issues Context; recent intellectual orientations are being born. Low carbon city is one of the newest theoretical and practical ideas about how modern sustainable urban management and city and urban life development. In this regard, the study of sources in this field shows that the establishment of low-carbon conceptual structures due to the multiplicity of sides in themselves tended to scatter in their subject areas and this process can be effective during on the related knowledge. The main goal of this research is to develop a conceptual model of low-carbon cities in order to read and recognize its concept and theory.
Material and Methodology: In this research, a theoretical and evaluative model of reading low-carbon cities accordance with the available texts with a theoretical orientation has been prepared and compiled by Qualitative approach and Documentary research. The research period is between 1400-1401.
Fidings: The low-carbon city is theoretically a multilevel conceptual structure with the possibility of polygonal readings in categories, defining and evaluating procedures. According on the mentioned Gap, formulating one or a set of conceptual and evaluative models; It makes possible the integrated reading of this new mental and objective concept of future urban planning on world scale.
Discussion & Conclusion: the conceptual structure of low carbon city has special and unique coordinates that has not been theoretically considered and integrated by researchers. it is possible to have a more accurate and complete knowledge of the low carbon city, and at the same time, the development options of this model are possible in future researches in accordance with the advances in knowledge
