Abstract In recent years, the role and active participation of local and municipal administration in the field of economic development has been accepted as one of the new missions of urban management. One of the most important measures to improve the economic capacity of the cities is to improve the business environment. The importance of paying attention to the business environment is a direct link between the development indicators in a city and the analysis of the effects and implications for development of the city, which is of interest to experts. Currently, in Iran, the business environment is measured only at the national and provincial levels. But it should be noted that focusing on lower levels, such as cities, is important as well because in some cities, dominated situation could not be explained and analyzed by the economic trends in national level. Hence, in this article, studying business environment in Sadra's new city and the effects on development of the city are considered. The method of the research is a questionnaire in combination with interviews. Using a targeted sampling method, 54 economic activists in Sadra were interviewed and the same questionnaire containing 57 questions was distributed and completed. The results of the research show that the business environment of Sadra city, is lower than average. In this situation, the city's business enterprises have not been able to perform well enough and the private sector has moved to underground, unproductive and informal economies.
