Abstract
The dynamic system of cities has constantly been changed and developed. In this regard, the problems such as cultural changes, poverty, environmental pollution and physical instability have been changed some parts of cities with new differences which are the signs of unsustainable urban development. The quality of development and its infrastructures had been made major effect on the development of cities in Khorasan Razavi province because of the inappropriate planning in the past. The first step to solve the problems arisen from the regional imbalance is identifying and classifying the distressed textures of province in different fields of sustainable urban development. This descriptive-analytical study is clustered and ranked 20 selected districts of Mashhad province by sending questionnaire in four economic, cultural-social, technical-physical and health- environmental aspects by hierarchical cluster technique via SPSS software. The research results indicated that there were differences and disparities at development level in the distressed textures of Razavi Khorasan Province. Thus, these differences made it essential to prepare and implement the targeted programs and projects for integration and balancing development of cities such as balanced budgets allocated to cities as well as developed renovation and improved plans in less developed distressed texture in line with improving the physical-institutional, environmental infrastructures and developing the appropriate cultural and social programs.
