In this research, an attempt was made to use the approach of effective creative city components in the socio-economic regeneration of Masjed-e-Suleiman city in order to reduce the problems of this deindustrialized city and to present an appropriate model for identifying and determining the components of a creative city effective in regeneration. The research method is a mixed method (qualitative-quantitative). Therefore, several basic steps have been taken in this study. In the first step, in data analysis to examine the normality of data distribution, according to the results of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, the data distribution in the present study is normal. In the qualitative part, using the fuzzy Delphi method, key indicators of socio-economic regeneration of industrialized cities were identified and confirmed. In the quantitative part, using structural equation modeling (PLS), the relationships between these indicators were analyzed and validated. The results showed that six key factors play a fundamental role in the regeneration of Masjed-e-Solomon: the development of new technologies, the promotion of art and innovation, the development of culture and urban identity, the preservation of cultural and historical identity, entrepreneurial and innovation spaces, and the support of creative and cultural industries. Based on the results of the study, it was determined that in the relative fuzzy weighting for the research dimensions, the component of applying the development of new technologies has the highest relative weight at this stage, and the component of promoting art and innovation is also ranked second. At this stage, the component of supporting creative and cultural industries has been evaluated by experts with a lower priority. Based on the findings, it was suggested that Masjed-e-Solomon pave its way towards becoming a creative and sustainable city through the development of creative industries, digitalization of economic activities, strengthening cultural and tourism infrastructure, and supporting innovative entrepreneurship. This research can be a basis for future studies and policy-making related to the regeneration of industrialized cities in Iran.
