Achieving sustainability is one of the primary goals of urban planners, who seek to realize it in urban spaces by employing various theories and approaches. Among the most recent theories in urban planning are those of "livability" and "walkability." Livability and walkability are multidimensional and hierarchical concepts composed of various dimensions and indicators that can vary depending on the purpose of the evaluation system and the spatial context under study. In conducted studies, a diverse range of indicators has been proposed for these theories. The aim of this study is to integrate the two theories of "livability" and "walkability" and to present composite indicators in order to develop a new development pattern entitled the "walkable-livable pattern." This pattern is introduced for the first time in the field of urban studies in the present research, which constitutes the innovation of this study. The present research is mixed-methods in approach, and its main strategy is a documentary and case study design. To develop the indicators of the walkable-livable pattern, studies conducted over the past two decades in the fields of livability and walkability theories were examined, and those that addressed the indicators of these two theories were selected. A total of 154 articles in the field of livability and 133 articles in the field of walkability were reviewed using purposive sampling. After several stages of merging, summarizing, eliminating, and modifying the indicators, the indicators of the walkable-livable pattern were classified into four dimensions: natural-environmental, physical-spatial, socio-cultural, and economic-managerial. Furthermore, twelve components and 69 indicators were defined and developed as subcategories of these dimensions.
