Considering a traditional Iranian city as a unit consists of different related and interconnected parts, we will notice how well the concept of unity has been integrated in physical and social feature of the city. This looks in contrast with the image of a contemporary city with its fragmented and discontinued urban structure which results in individualization within society. Therefore, trough some methodological studies and analysis, this paper seeks to apply the concept of unity in contemporary and future planning of Iranian cities as well as society. The result of study suggests integrative approaches toward city planning as well as socio-cultural planning by conscious evaluation of traditional urban spaces in one hand and enhancing social cohesion within community on the other hand. Trough this process we can approach producing quality urban environment and future cities which are more like past in sense of social cohesion and unity in urban forms.
