Abstract
This paper attempts to investigate to what extent the level of effective participation in the process of planning of City Development Strategies (CDS) contributes to achieve Sustainable Urban Development (SUD) pillars. CDS is a strategic urban plan, which has been applied by many cities in developing countries to achieve SUD. However, the level of achievement to SUD is different. To address this objective, the current study has compared two CDSs, which have been implemented in Qazvin city in Iran. The content and process of these two CDSs have been reviewed, analyzed and compared. The results revealed more effective participation of stakeholders in first CDS compared to second CDS in Qazvin city. In addition, the findings showed the stronger inclusion of SUD components and pillars in first CDS, indicating the correlation between effective participation in the process of CDS and inclusion of SUD pillars in the content of CDS. This study highlights the importance of effective participation in the process of CDS planning, in order to achieve urban sustainability.
