Based on our results and findings, First Plan has considered density of household in housing unit but has not cared about the organizing of informal settlements, worn tissues and increasing of building density. The Second Plan was concerned with worn tissues, increase of density and its main problem was increasing the individual housing. The Third plan has given special attention to low-income groups and its main challenge was paying not enough attention to the relationship between public and private purposes.

Finally, the Fifth Plan was prepared with emphasis on the goals of the Fourth Plan, patterns of Iranian- Islamic, Mehr housing, organizing of worn tissues and informal settlements and sustainable development.
