The Main hypothesis is to have a significant correlation between the indicators of urbanization in Mashhad city and the sustainable development. Statistical sampling is done randomly and by using Cochran's formula. In this study, Kolmogorov and Smirnov test has been used in order to determine significant correlation between the independent and dependent variables and also the sub-hypotheses test by Pearson correlation coefficient method has been used. Moreover, in this study the factor analysis based on new and advanced method of structural equation (Partial Least Squares) PLS has been used in order to analyze and investigate the important coefficients and factors, estimate the coefficients of independent variables and even determine the effectiveness of each of the independent variables on each other. As a result of this research a significant correlation between the urbanization indicators and sustainable development is calculated and finally the suggestions are provided in order to continue and develop this study.
