Abstract :

Economic growth and development has been important to economists. Every economist has mentioned different elements in order for economic growth in every country. One of these elements is paying attention to regional development and the necessity of appropriate distribution of resources in order to equally develop all regions of a country. These indexes have been categorized into five categories as the following: Economic, cultural and educational, construction and housing, hygiene and treatment, and urban facilities indexes; this study has been done in 1390. To do this study, two methods of numerical taxonomy and the process of hierarchy analysis have been applied to help.The results obtained from the method of taxonomy show that metropolitan cities, Tehran, Isfahan, Tabriz, Karaj, Mashhad, Qom, Shiraz, and Ahvaz are the most developed cities in Iran respectively. The results obtained from the process of hierarchy analysis show that metropolitan cities, Tehran, Isfahan, Karaj, Mashhad, Tabriz, Shiraz, Qom, and Ahvaz are the most developed cities in Iran respectively.
