The main goal in local development is to focus on people and meet their basic and spiritual needs, which play a fundamental role in the quality of urban life. This goal is only achievable by emphasizing participation and collective cooperation within a structured system. In this regard, the neighborhood, as the smallest spatial unit of the city, serves as the best center for collective management and planning, as it fosters better social cohesion.

Most historic urban context have gradually evolved and expanded over time, maintaining a continuous historical thread that preserves overall unity and coherence, despite occasional architectural and urban changes. However, contemporary urban expansions and new constructions in neighborhoods and cities not only stand out as distinct from their historical context but also highlight the separation from their history and identity. Unfortunately, in our modern era, we have not only neglected the preservation of our cities' continuity, history, architectural heritage, and physical environment but have intentionally sought to distance ourselves from them. While this trend became widespread after the industrial revolution in various parts of the world, we now understand that what our ancestors had acquired through years of experience and passed down through generations, not only harmonized with nature but also encompassed qualities of life beyond our current imagination. Therefore, in our efforts to preserve what remains of the historical parts of our cities and restore historical continuity, it is necessary to carefully examine and study past cities, especially their fundamental element of neighborhoods, which constitute the smallest organizational unit within the urban spatial system. By exploring the qualitative elements and factors that contribute to historical continuity within these neighborhoods and reviving these qualities in our cities, we can put an end to this sudden gap and forgetting. Inspired by the past and using a recognition approach to identify the applied features in successful neighborhoods and their social relationships within the old sections of cities, we will find solutions for architecture in the present and future. Traditional urban neighborhoods form a cohesive collection of social, cultural, economical, historical, and physical relationships that shape meaningful structures and collectively create a city. In Iranian traditional neighborhoods, a system composed of a set of functions that coexist and continue their existence alongside each other in order to develop human relationships can be observed. This system operates with a physical structure that also addresses the psychological needs of the residents. Part of these psychological needs is met through human interactions. Therefore, identifying this physical structure is essential in the formation of new neighborhoods and housing within them. Housing should be viewed beyond a mere residential unit, with a neighborhood-centric perspective that not only meets basic needs but also addresses the broader needs that arise within society. This is because the neighborhood plays a significant role in .shaping identity, self-realization, and meeting the needs of higher levels on Maslow's hierarchy
