The main purpose of the compilation of the conceptual framework of this poet's and scholar's views on utopia was to emphasize its role in Iranian-Islamic urbanism. So, using the qualitative content analysis method, the concepts of Nezami’s utopianism have been discussed in the two-fold script of Eskandarnameh including Sharafname and Eghbalname. Then, the relationship between concepts in the conceptual model of the Iranian-Islamic utopian is expressed using the meta-analysis technique. The findings of the research indicate that Islamic-Iranian utopianism, regardless of the temporal dimension, focuses on the concepts of wisdom and justice as an ideal representation for today's cities, redefined with the priority of virtue versus other characteristics of the city.
