Abstract
The process of globalization has accelerated the growth of the world's metropolitan areas and added new problems to their existing problems. The vastness and complexity of the complex of living and activity centers and close-knit areas, whose pulse beats at the same point with the metropolis, necessitates the management of the metropolis at a level beyond separate institutions and individual municipalities. In parallel with the problems and threats in the metropolitan area, the main challenge of managing megacities is to use the many facilities and opportunities that exist within them. In this regard, the present research has been conducted with the aim of analyzing the factors affecting the realization of integrated urban management in Tehran metropolis. In terms of the depth of the applied-developmental study, this article is based on the descriptive and analytical approach in terms of its nature and method. The research method is a combination of survey and documentary type and collecting information and data through a researcher-made questionnaire, and its statistical population consists of two groups of city managers, experts and urban experts of Tehran. Relying on the factor analysis method, the number of 5 factors out of the 27 studied indicators was calculated, all of which have eigenvalues above 1 and together explain 68.501% of the variance.
