One of the most important issues in sustainable urban development is the study and prediction of land use change patterns. The city of tomorrow is the result of today's decisions; therefore, it is impossible to be prepared for the upcoming issues and challenges, especially in the field of land use in large cities, without considering the future. The expansion of urbanization and the physical growth of cities, the pressure of economic development, the excessive exploitation of existing resources, incorrect changes in land use, and human encroachment on agricultural lands, forests, and green pastures around cities are increasingly disrupting the environmental and ecological balances surrounding urban life for present and future generations. It seems that the economic dependence of third world cities is one of the important factors in the patterns of urban land use change in Iran, which requires attention to this factor in the development of programs, and urban development and land use programs at the city level should be developed on a local scale in connection with regional, national, and even global programs. This also necessitates the need to pay attention to integrated urban spatial management. The aim of this research is to investigate and identify the factors affecting land use changes within the boundaries and boundaries of Iranian cities and the effects and challenges created by these factors in the cities of the country. Finally, suggestions are presented to overcome the challenges arising from the uncontrolled change of land use, and to reduce or moderate the negative
