Applying urban prosperity in neighborhood planning is a new policy in sustainable urban development. This research based on the method, is descriptive-analytical and in terms of aim is applied. The data collection method was documentary library-based. The WASPAS model was used to rank the neighborhoods and the entropy model was used to weight the indicators. The results of applying the WASPAS decision making model show that there is a difference between the 14 neighborhoods of region 6 than the urban prosperity indexes. The innovation of the research is the use of a comparative and new model in determining and evaluating the indicators of urban prosperity in the urban neighborhoods of Tehran's sixth district.The ranking of neighborhoods in terms of urban prosperity indicated that the three neighborhoods of Yousefabad, Keshavarz and Valiasr had the favorable status with final scores of 0.337, 0.334 and 0.259, respectively, six neighborhoods with average status and five neighborhoods (Nizami Ganjavi, Jihad, Behjat Abad, Fatemi and Jamalzadeh) are in undesirable condition and are at the superiority of urban development planning.
