Abstract :
Due to the growth of urbanization in the last century and the emergence of socio-economic and environmental issues and the decline in quality of life in metropolitan areas, the creation of new cities as a necessity to absorb excess urban population and to decentralize population and employment in the world and in Iran has been proposed and executed. Today, after more than three decades of the beginning of this policy and the passing of forecasting courses, it is a good opportunity to evaluate and analyze the performance of these cities. Therefore, the main goal of this article is to evaluate the population performance of new cities in Iran. The type of applied research and its method is document-analytical. in order to collect the information and data required by the seventeen new cities of the country, the library studies, documents of development plans of new cities and the results of the general population and housing census of 1385, 1390 and 1395 have been used. To investigate the relationship between independent variables and dependent variables, Spearman's correlation coefficient was used in Spss software environment.The results of the study indicate that the population trend of new cities was increasing and their share of the country's urban population has increased from 0.64 percent in 1385 to 0.85 percent in 1390 and 1.32 percent in 1395. The most important factor in this case was the policy of creating Mehr housing in new cities. There is a significant relationship and negative correlation between the variable of the distance of the new city from the mother city with the variables of the number of the population of the new city and to some extent the growth rate of the population of the new city, and there is a direct relationship between the variable of the number of the population of the mother city and the number of the population of the new city.
