By examining the modern cities of Iran with a historical background, it is evident how the changes in city structure over the past few decades have impacted the lives of individuals in society. Among these Iranian cities, the city of Shiraz is notable. The historical background of the city of Shiraz dates back to the sixth century BC. Over time, due to natural and governmental factors, the city's structural patterns have undergone significant changes, each unique in its time, with specific positive and negative spatial effects resulting from its type of spatial organization. This research aims to examine the transformations in spatial configuration within urban spaces over time and to identify patterns and qualitative and quantitative characteristics that affect these transformations, with a particular focus on the reorganization of the general disorganization in the structure of Shiraz City. The methodology of this research is based on documenting the evolutionary process, incorporating logical reasoning. Additionally, relevant materials and maps have been obtained through observation, field surveys, and library studies, which the authors have redrawn for clarity. Subsequently, the maps were analyzed and evaluated using UCL Depth Map, a specialized software for spatial syntax, and the results are presented. The findings and analyses conducted in this research indicate that the historical transformations of spatial configuration have deteriorated the historical context of Shiraz due to its physical expansion, reducing the quality of its urban environment.
