The formation and role attribution to different actors of urban ground, including government, people, civil and legislation institutions, etc, have caused the development of counter and bilateral duties and tasks between the citizens and affairs administrators in both national and local levels. Cities, as accommodation centers, have different structure and functions. Formation of structural elements in the cities and various roles are formed by the political and social actors of the state; however, managing the urban affairs and meeting the citizens’ demands and expectations require grounds and beds on the light of which, the demands would receive rational and reasonable answers. City, citizens and urban management are concepts with very close ties. Establishment of conditions and necessary grounds for the interaction between the elements of urban management that consists citizens, city administrators’ institutes, Islamic council and private sector need to be established on the legitimacy and legalization circles.
