Abstract :

Innovative city is including new concepts in urban studies, highlighted by geographers, economists and sociologists, in achieving a knowledge-community and knowledge-based development. In this regard, city has been considered in a hybrid approach as a place where creativity, knowledge, creative and innovative industries and knowledge economy. Thus, urban environments should provide conditions to attract and retain creative and innovative human capitals. According to importance of subjecte, research aims to evaluating and comparison social and cultural indicators of the innovative city in the regions of Tabriz Metropolis‌. In terms of purposes, the present study is of applied researchs type, and in terms of methodology, it is a comparative research. Shannon entropy method for weighing indicators is used and the TOPSIS technique is applied in order to rank the regions of Tabriz. Emphasizing on the social and cultural indicators, the findings of the research show that region 8 tops the ranking list and region 10 is ranked the last. ‌The result of research indicates that the social and cultural indicators are not distributed equitably and there is a spatial focus on distribution of indicators. The results of research indicate the incompatibility of the distribution of social and cultural‌ indicators with the distribution of population across the city. Therefore, since innovation is the key to the development and expansion of cities as well as the equitable distribution of services and facilities necessary for development, the fair distribution of social and cultural indicators is essential for the realization of an innovative city.
