The increasing growth of urbanization and the excessive horizontal expansion of cities have brought about numerous challenges, including resource waste, spatial inequality, increased energy consumption, and a weakening of the quality of urban life. In response to these issues, the “compact city” model has been considered as one of the solutions for sustainable urban development in recent decades. The main objective of this research is to investigate the feasibility of adapting compact city indicators to the physical, managerial, and social structure of Ahvaz city. The present research, using a descriptive-analytical approach and based on the TOPSIS model, has analyzed the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of implementing this model in Ahvaz city. The results show that although some of the requirements of a compact city, such as relative population density, the possibility of recreating dilapidated fabric, and the capacity for public transportation development, exist in Ahvaz, the weakness of infrastructure, managerial centralization, lack of institutional integration, and lack of public participation have hindered the successful implementation of this model. Finally, it is suggested that the successful implementation of the compact city in Ahvaz requires legal framework, improvement of the transportation system, strengthening of institutional capacities, and utilization of global experiences appropriate to the local context.
