        It is important to evaluate the feasibility of urban plans before implementing them. The feasibility of urban plans is one of the major challenges of urban planning in Iran. Urban research shows that "urban development" in the world today goes through complex processes and its main passage goes through the maze of "political economy" and through various ideological approaches. This theory deals with issues of inevitable planning in relation to the power of government, financial resources, and the protection of people or citizens. Because urban planning has been a tool in the hands of the government since the beginning to organize cities with an authoritarian nature, and today, in competition with the private sector, its authority has been reduced day by day. Meanwhile, the people, ie the inhabitants of the cities with the urban society, often observe the domination of capital over the cities, and their protest reaches nowhere. This research has used a descriptive method, an initial survey, and structured interviews with experts in urban development projects to identify feasibility criteria and indicators to assess the feasibility of strategic planning. Political and environmental factors are also in the next ranks with factor loads of 0.93 and 0.88. Therefore, it can be said that the physical factor has had the greatest impact on the feasibility of strategic plans. Also, the economic factor with a factor load of 0.34 had the least impact. The multidimensional feasibility assessment model presented in this study can be used to increase the possibility of implementing existing strategic urban planning in the future and therefore benefits for the generation have a future in Iran.  Manuscript profile
