Today, the socioeconomic status of new towns and attracting the population by them are one of the most important issues that have attracted the attention of social researchers and policymakers. The purpose of the present study is to study the socioeconomic and demographic status of new towns in Iran. The present study is a quantitative one and based on secondary data analysis of census of 2006, 2011 and 2016. The theory of linear city and the phased development model of an urban area are the main theoretical frameworks in the present study. A total of 12 new towns, among all of them, which have attracted population and were a city in census of 2016 were investigated. The results showed, all of the new towns have experienced a relative improvement in socioeconomic and demographic indicators during the study period, and their scores in the indicators had been upward. Sadra, Baharestan, and Andishe have attained the highest scores in the final socio-demographic index. The mentioned new towns have a proper situation in the distance from the metropolis and urban density. Hence, it can be concluded that the above factors are the most important determinants of the new towns' demographic function in Iran.

The population is considered one of the topics of interest to planners and policy-makers in any community. Nowadays, the population is not only as a single subject but it is a vast and complex political, social, economic and security matter that must be seen its all aspects comprehensively and accurately. Iran's demographic problem is not only in growth rate but there are also inappropriate distribution of population and high population density in urban areas and we claim that this matter is the main reason for reducing of the growth rate of iran’s population. Thus, in policies should be attention to this point. The importance of indirect legislative policies concerning the population is much more than direct policies; which of course did not pay attention to it, and both of these policies should be made with a focus on the principle of proportionality and regionalism. In fact, according to the government's limited financial resources and the need to take effective measures to increase the population, what should be of interest to legislators and politicians, is the attention to the public acts and regulaions. So the success rate of these policies will increase and in addition to population increase, it will also help to harmonic and proportional distribution.
