Among Iranian cities, Tabriz has the lowest number of parks per capita. Also, among the urban areas of Tabriz, district four, in which the construction site of the park is located, is in an unfavorable condition with a per capita green space of 4.92 square meters. If the Tabriz Grand Park project is completed, the area's per capita green space can increase up to 24 meters and the per capita green space of Tabriz city can increase from 6.76 square meters to 11.6 square meters. This research can be effective in introducing the capacities and calculating the hidden values of Tabriz Grand Park so that everyone will be aware of its economic and environmental potentials.
