A city with a lot of activity, traffic, and people.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Tehranis have a love-hate relationship with their 'shahr-e sholugh'. They complain about the traffic daily but often feel bored in quieter cities or countries. In Isfahan, 'sholughi' is often concentrated around the Naqsh-e Jahan Square. It is considered a sign of a thriving tourism industry. During Nowruz, cities like Tehran become 'khalvat' (empty/quiet) as everyone travels, while northern cities become extremely 'sholugh'. Being in a 'sholugh' place requires a high level of 'Ta'arof' (ritual politeness) to navigate crowds without causing offense.
Use it as a complaint
If you want to sound like a local in Tehran, just sigh and say 'Ajab shahr-e sholughi-ye!' (What a busy city!).
Person vs Place
Remember: A city is 'sholugh', a person is 'mashghul'.

It can be both. It means 'crowded'. If you like energy, it's positive. If you hate traffic, it's negative.
