This study focuses on the new town of Parand to explore the factors influencing residential continuity and population retention in Iran's new towns. The objective is to identify key components of population sustainability and propose practical strategies for enhancing self-reliance and reducing dependency on the Tehran metropolis. Employing a qualitative grounded theory approach, data were collected through 36 semi-structured interviews with Parand residents and analyzed using MAXQDA software. The findings indicate that place attachment, as the core category, emerges from the interaction of five factors: physical (urban infrastructure, transportation), social (social capital, neighborhood cohesion), economic (employment opportunities, housing costs), cultural (urban identity, cultural interactions), and environmental (environmental quality), which guide sustained residency. Challenges such as shortages in public services, weak social bonds, lack of urban identity, economic dependency on Tehran, and inadequate opportunities for personal growth have hindered residential continuity. This study proposes five macro-strategies: strengthening social capital through interactive spaces, upgrading physical and service infrastructures, fostering urban and cultural identity with an emphasis on local symbols, improving the city's public image to reduce marginal stigma, and creating employment and personal growth opportunities. The aim of these strategies is to shift the paradigm of urban managers and planners from a purely physical perspective to a multifaceted, integrated, and operational one; such that this approach is not only implementable in the studied city but also serves as a generalizable model for examination and utilization in other new towns, providing a rich theoretical foundation for similar studies in other new towns.
