Accordingly, this research was conducted with the aim of formulating a vision and strategic plan for urban development with a smart economy approach in the city of Bastam. Bastam, with a population of approximately 44,000, is one of the historical cities of Iran. Despite its vast potential in various economic areas such as tourism and agriculture, it has faced many challenges in urban development in recent decades. This has doubled the necessity for strategic planning for this city. The research is applied in purpose and descriptive-analytical in method. The SWOT technique was used to formulate strategies and the QSPM matrix was used to prioritize them. data collection was based on extensive field studies, surveying using the Delphi method, and holding consecutive meetings with provincial experts. For the Delphi panel, 20 experts and managers from subsidiary organizations of Bastam Municipality were selected through purposive sampling, who reached a consensus after two stages of this process. Furthermore, considering the number of citizens (N=44,000) and based on Morgan's table, 378 people were selected as the research sample, and questionnaires were distributed equally and randomly among them in each area of the city. the results led to the identification of a vision and the presentation of strategies for urban development. The evaluation of internal and external factors also indicated the organization's relatively appropriate response in using opportunities and minimizing the impact of threats. After summarizing all the existing strategies in upstream documents and the opinions of citizens and urban officials, a list of all suggestions was prepared and categorized into seven specialized areas, including: urban services, eco-tourism, urban transportation, urban development and architecture, institutional-managerial, cultural-social, and economic. Through the Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM), strategies in each area were prioritized according to their attractiveness score.
