Background and Aim: According to studies conducted in recent decades, changing the pattern of traditional to modern urban planning has been associated with challenges. In a study conducted in the city of Ardabil, the most important current challenges are irregular growth and development of the city, unbalanced and inharmonic, disruption and disorder in urban space, the disproportion of per capita, barren lands Abandoned in and around the city, the incompatibility of urban design with geographical conditions, the imposition of heavy urban transportation and traffic costs, as well as insufficient attention to infrastructure issues. The main purpose of this study is to analyze and investigate the contemporary urban planning pattern in Ardabil city and revive and recreate the traditional urban planning pattern in order to preserve the authentic Iranian texture in modern urban planning and also demonstrate of the consequences of neglecting the rich assets of Iranian urban development.Methods: The nature of this research is descriptive-analytical with an applied approach, which has been carried out using library and field methods. The statistical population of the research is Ardabil city, the urban and population growth and development during the years 1976 to 2021 have been investigated. To monitor and investigate the horizontal growth of the city, Landsat satellite images were used and statistical analyses have been performed by a quartile distribution method.Findings and Conclusions: According to the results obtained from this study, it is clear that the coherent and regular structure of the city has been defunct, and we are witnessing the horizontal growth of the city and the mismatch between urban area and population, and the uneven distribution of the population in the city. Also, based on investigations, the pattern of urban planning with a regular neighborhood structure with the natural and cultural environment is the most effective pattern for solving urban problems, and this model tends to local urban development. Revival of traditional patterns in modern urban planning can be fruitful and play a complementary role.
