Abstract :
Today, on the one hand, the excessive growth of cities and the lack of proper planning and design in the construction of garden cities in the suburbs of the city, and on the other hand, the construction of dense residential complexes have caused the destruction of the urban environment and the reduction of urban livability. Urban livability is one of the basic criteria for measuring the quality of life in urban areas, and by improving it, the quality of urban life can be improved and citizens can be satisfied in various fields. This research aims to benefit from the lessons learned from Singapore in order to achieve urban livability in Shiraz. Despite land constraints, Singapore is ranked as one of the most livable countries. Dr. Cheong Koon Hean, CEO of the Housing and Development Authority of Singapore, presents a model called livable density for social housing design in Singapore. In recent decades, garden cities have been scattered and compact social housing has been built in Shiraz. Therefore, utilizing the livable density model used in Singapore to achieve livability in the city of Shiraz is a useful lesson learned. In this study, the fuzzy TOPSIS multi-criteria decision-making method has been used to analyze the livability status of different regions of Shiraz. First, various livability indicators including population density, green space per capita, and water quality have been identified and related data have been collected.
