Patterning a decent urban governance model in the spatial-political dimensions of the Tehran Metropolis

The growth of Tehran's urbanization is a political-spatial phenomenon, which should be considered a suitable model considering the goal of providing a suitable model of urban cooperation in the spatial-political dimension of the city. According to the indicators of good urban governance, justice and participation can move as fundamental factors in the direction of the progress and justice of the urban space. The research method to answer the main question is a mixed method (quantitative-qualitative). Data was collected using a combined method (library and field), and SPSS software was exploited to analyze the research data. Also, a questionnaire completed by experts in the urban area was used to find a pattern of urban governance. These data were evaluated using the Likert scale, and eventually, one-sample t-tests and factor analysis methods were exerted. The results show that among the indicators, justice, equality, and participation in Tehran are better than other indicators. The indicators of transparency, law-oriented, and accountability are evaluated below the average level from the experts' point of view. Therefore, they need to be in better condition. Finally, the model of good urban governance can be a new theory in responding to new expectations and responsibilities and a suitable management document for the authorities, with the help of which they can achieve sustainable urban development.
