Abstract
Quality is the most important consequence of an urban design project, and its promotion is the final duty of an urban designer.
So "urban design guidelines" which use environmental improvement factors in their structure, have an effective role in
promoting urban space quality. "Urban design guidelines" are the most important instruments in urban designers' authority,
to reflect and appear improvement plans in urban spaces and create the bridge between research (theoretic studies) and
practice (professional efforts). The paper guidelines are generic statements that specify the goals, the design pattern for
achieving them and the evidence supporting the linkage between goal and pattern. On the other hand, decisions about how to
address the issue of parking are among the most important in making the city center a high-quality place for people. The city
center cannot have a pedestrian orientation, a concentrated diversity of uses, or a continuity of street-level activity if parking
is not well designed. Attention to varied types of existing parking in city center area (such as on-street parking, surface lots
or parking structures), the main idea of this paper is to promote the quality of city center spaces, by using different urban
design guidelines.
