Rapid urbanization and the uneven distribution of services and infrastructure of the District 9 in Isfahan have created challenges such as spatial inequality, reduced quality of life, and environmental degradation. This research aims to develop an optimal model for improving the functional structure of District 9 in Isfahan. Utilizing economic, socio-cultural, physical, urban services, and environmental factors, this study analyzes the current situation from the perspectives of both citizens and experts. To achieve this objective, the research employs citizens and expert’s questionnaires. Data was collected through Likert scale and analyzed using SPSS and Amos software. The results indicate that citizens emphasize access to shopping centers and green spaces, while experts prioritize attracting investment and improving sustainable infrastructure. Public transportation and citizen participation were identified as key factors in both groups. However, new technologies and the adaptation of services for the disabled were given lower priority. Citizens perceived urban services and the environment as having the greatest impact, and the economic dimension as the least, whereas experts evaluated economics as the most critical factor in sustainable development. The findings underscore the need for urban planning to integrate the daily needs of citizens with the long-term vision of experts. This research provides a model for balanced development that includes improving the distribution of services, enhancing environmental infrastructure, and strengthening economic factors, which can be applied to other urban areas.
