This study delves into the spatial inequalities within the Tehran Metropolis, exploring the socio-economic and geographic disparities that characterize this rapidly urbanizing region. Utilizing a combination of quantitative data analysis and spatial mapping techniques, the research identifies key areas of inequality in terms of access to essential services, housing, employment opportunities, and environmental quality. The findings reveal significant disparities between different districts, highlighting the uneven distribution of resources and opportunities. The study also examines the underlying factors contributing to these inequalities, such as urban planning policies, socio-economic segregation, and historical development patterns. The implications of these spatial inequalities are discussed, with a focus on their impact on the quality of life and social cohesion in Tehran. The research concludes with policy recommendations aimed at addressing and mitigating spatial inequalities, promoting a more equitable urban environment for all residents of the metropolis.
