The present research was carried out with the aim of explaining neighborhood planning based on worn-out urban contexts with an emphasis on the approach of neo-urbanism in the 19th district of Tehran. The research was a descriptive-analytical study using the survey method. To collect the required data, field observations, documents and studies of upstream projects and local interviews and questionnaires among the residents of the studied neighborhoods have been used. In order to answer the first question according to the goals and hypotheses of the research, bivariate regression analysis was used. The results indicate that the two variables mentioned above have a significant relationship with each other and the alpha value is less than 0. 05, which means that neo-urbanism has an effect on the desire for renovation and explains the changes of it (renovation of dilapidated fabric). Metaswat model was used to answer the second question. According to the competitive map, prioritization of competitors it was concluded that Shahid Kazemi neighborhoods with a weight of 97. 3 have the most problems and should be paid more attention to.

Over the past decades, the declining process of city centers has intensified due to the over relying on modern urbanism based on movement of cars and neglecting to organize pavements what is contrary to the sustainability of the city. The increasing trend towards sustainable urban development has caused urban planners to put forward the theory of new urbanism to save urban centers and the authorities to consider plans in order to pay attention to pedestrians which is one of the dimensions of new urbanism. The present paper also seeks to explore the walkability of the existing streets in the historical texture. In that direction at first, the view of pedestrians, in the form of distribution of 400 questionnaires, has been evaluated in terms of the quality of seven main indicators of walkability, including accessibility, safety, security, furniture, attractiveness, transportation and social activities in the study area. Accordingly, streets in the historical texture has been prioritized using the second type of Promethee technique. Based on a result of this technique, Beheshti, Khajeh Nasir South, Oohadi, Imam Khomeini and Daneshareh streets and so on have the highest level of walkability respectively. The results of this study showed that only 20% of the passages in the historical texture have walkability features.
