Abstract :
    In the last decade, one of the main urban problems in Iran has been the widespread presence of fine dust in cities and air pollution caused by it. The extent of this problem has been so extensive that many studies have been presented to solve this problem. Given the role of planning and different planning theories, we are looking to present a planning theory that can overcome the management of the current situation and treat this problem. Urban planning in Iran has so far remained largely in the form of traditional approaches, and in particular its simple, comprehensive approach. As the shortcomings of these approaches become clear, a gradual effort has been made to improve the process and product of urban planning in the existing system. In parallel with these changes, the theory and action of planning in developed countries has also changed and different methods are being followed and implemented depending on the different fields. After the trend of urban planning to attract participation in the sixties and seventies, communication planning was introduced as an advanced way of attracting public participation that has changed the theoretical and practical actions of urban and regional development. The impetus for improving urban planning in Iran, along with the theoretical strength of communication planning, raises the question of whether this method of urban planning can be used in Iran s planning mechanism to solve the dust problem. City benefited or not?
