One of the challenges faced by urban planners is optimal urban and regional management and balance in the development of cities. In this regard, the main goal of this research is to measure the economic and social stability of the cities of Mazandaran province during the census of 2006 and 2021. The current research is applied in terms of its purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of its nature. The method of quantitative analysis and the type of reasoning used is causal-inferential. The required data and information have been collected using the statistics and census of 2006 and 2021. The statistical population of the research is 30 professors and experts in the field of urban planning using a targeted sampling method. The reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed using the pre-test and Cronbach's alpha test with a coefficient of 0.812. In order to analyze the obtained data and information, stability barometer, radar, Copeland and Elektro models have been used. The results of sustainability measurement techniques showed that the cities of Sari, Babol, Amol, Qaimshahr, Tonkabon and Chalus have higher ranks in terms of sustainability. Also, the cities of Mazandaran province have had different stability, and the problem of instability is more related to small and medium-sized cities in terms of size, and more related to economic issues in terms of indicators. Therefore, it is possible to provide the stability and development of cities by implementing the solutions obtained from this research.
