چکیده
Today, addressing the issues and challenges of deteriorated urban areas has become a key subject in urban planning, compelling relevant organizations to focus on the regeneration of such areas. The unsuccessful implementation of urban regeneration projects has shifted attention toward innovative methods based on actions involving public participation. Regeneration is a process that creates a new urban space while preserving the essential spatial features (physical and functional), which, despite their fundamental similarities to the old urban space, exhibit inherent and conceptual differences from it. Urban officials and specialists are now trying to adopt strategic planning that emphasizes execution and results rather than just producing plans. The formulation of regeneration strategies for deteriorated areas in District 4 of Tabriz Metropolis is based on these theoretical foundations, emphasizing public participation to achieve the developmental goals of Tabriz 2025 Vision. Data collection was carried out through questionnaires and interviews, and data analysis was performed using SPSS and Super Decisions software. This prioritization identifies the strategic priorities for urban regeneration planning in Tabriz Metropolis. Ultimately, the findings of this research can serve as a scientific-executive framework for application in other metropolises. According to the results, the strategy of "enhancing neighborhood attachment and fostering a sense of community through continuous social and civic engagement among residents" received the highest weight and was ranked as the top priority in Tabriz’s urban strategies.
