it seems that in current times, many of the urban designs and plans in Iran have totalitarian, centralized, and monopolistic essences. This condition is predictably originated from the absence of deliberative and collaborative democracies; in light of the foregoing, the inefficiencies of the stages of presentation and implementation have led to neglecting the citizenship rights and the public preferences. Hence, citizens have little social responsibilities for the negative consequences of inefficient urban practices. In addition, an appropriate context is not provided for them to affect the various steps of urban processes, claiming their rights to the city, and expressing their opinions. In this spirit, the urban projects lose their basic figures in providing stability and promoting the role of people in urban development and management. Hence, the impetus behind this study is to improve the urban democracy in the process of urban planning and design.

this study attempts to investigate the reasons for the lack of democratic involvement by the citizens in the process of urban development and management, as well as to find some solutions to remove this widespread deep-rooted social dilemma. Research hypothesis: the realization of democracy and actual participation of citizens in the process of developing the urban spaces can lead to more accurate and efficient decision makings, as well as more successful implementation of urban plans and projects. Research

this article was conducted through content analysis and comparative methods. While studying the pillars of the democratic system, the methods of democratic participation of citizens in the processes of urban development and management in Iran was studied regarding the Principles of the Critical Theory. In fact, an effort was made to provide a platform for presenting the findings and suggested solutions through the process of criticizing and analysing the current situation of the Iranian urban plans and designs along with comparing them with the necessary elements for the realization of democratic and people-friendly urban processes. This should be stated that the data collection method was based on interviews with people, studying documents, and also field observations.

results indicate that Dilemmas in the Iranian urban system have been originated from the non-democratic factors, such as the lack of participation, the lack of all-inclusiveness, the violation of citizenship rights and urban justice, illegitimate urban laws, inflexibility, the downfall of pluralism, and etc. Hence, through scheming criteria such as the diversity of opinions, all-inclusiveness, flexibility, forming NGOs, the citizen education and discourse, diversity and respecting the citizen’s rights, etc., these processes can be democratized and also a platform for the emergence of a comprehensive type of a democratic urban planning and design would be materialized; a process which strengthens the urban democracy and honors the position of people, not as the problem but as the solution, by creating equal opportunities in a disinterested fashion.

The necessity has been arisen nowadays to frame the concepts of the right to the city, citizenship, and urban justice in a more specific manner due to the interdisciplinary essence of urban design profession as well as the modern debates related to it. The right to the city is an issue of social, political and legal nature, which claims a legal framework that fairly and transparently makes the living environment more citizen-friendly by redefining the concept of citizenship right. In this regard, urban design processes perform an underlying role in creating the living environment of the citizens, and thus, the right to the city can be realized in urban settlements, again emphasizing the interdisciplinary essence. Hence, this article tries to provide a meaningful link between the theory and the practice of urban design by adopting humanistic backgrounds as well as exploring into the right to the city, in order to be able to develop the quality of public urban spaces by utilizing the significant role of social concepts along with environmental qualities. In doing so, comprehensive social norms have been listed using the collection of materials on the notion of the right to the city in addition to urban justice based on library research. Finally, an effort has been made to provide a theoretical framework including qualitative indicators; the indicators which are effective in the emergence of citizen-friendly urban design in two areas of urban design process and production through comprehensively utilizing comparative methods, content analysis, analytical description, as well as matching the comprehensive citizenship norms with qualitative characteristics proposed by the experts.
