A creative city is a vibrant place that fosters cultural and intercultural learning, where every resident feels confident in their knowledge, skills, and cultural awareness. A creative city emphasizes characteristics that make the city more appealing to its residents. The objective of this research is a comparative assessment of Tehran’s metropolitan districts based on creative city indicators. This study is descriptive-analytical in terms of methodology and applied in terms of purpose. Data collection was conducted using a documentary-library method across four dimensions: quality of life, human capital, social capital, and innovation. The WASPAS decision-making model was used for ranking the districts, and the entropy model was applied to weight the indicators. The innovation of this research lies in its use of a comparative approach and a new model for identifying and evaluating creative city indicators at the urban district scale (Tehran metropolis).The results from employing the WASPAS decision-making model reveal differences among the 22 districts of Tehran concerning creative city indicators. The ranking of districts in terms of being a creative city shows that seven districts (6, 1, 12, 3, 4, 2, and 7) have favorable conditions. Eight districts were found to have moderate conditions, while seven districts (19, 18, 16, 21, 17, 10, and 9)respectively, were in unfavorable conditions and prioritized for urban development planning. Moreover, the findings showed that the economic dimension of the creative city had the highest number of districts (17) in unfavorable conditions.
