Abstract: The rapid expansion of cities has caused most countries facing several problems. Thus, not only the urbanization policies but also social- economic and environmental issues of many urban areas have been affected by this phenomenon. Although population growth is the primary cause of the rapid expansion of cities, its unreasonable distribution also has adverse effects on the natural and cultural environment of communities. The aim of this study was to assess the strategic policies of urban growth of Gorgan. The research model is a goal-oriented and applied approach. Based on the nature and methodology, this study could be considered as a surveying- descriptive method, which leads to urban growth of Gorgan through providing guidelines and strategies.
