| Choosing the type of urban management model reflects insight into relationships to be held between municipality and councils. It also considers as index for executive power and level of participation. Defining managerial style for city and conducting power down toward urban managers is regarded as significant discussion of the best managerial model. City managerial model has a close relation to creation or solution of city problems. Survey over Tehran Municipality managerial model offers that the regular model of urban management in Iran is council-manager Analyzing managerial pattern of Tehran and its features peculiarly dative selection of mayor causes hard dependence of urban management model's elements to the main structure of power. This procedure in turn exacerbates lack of civil institutions and people participation has made urban management as contest arena for political parties over national level. So, council-mayor model is suggested as the convenient model. Applying the model through masses-based procedure and communicative insight into urban problems, in one hand, over national level emphasizes declining role of the center of power and on the other hand in local level it strengthen local management, participation of local community, multi-level and multi-agent government for effective urban management. This model using deductive measures of theoretical discussions urban governance supports urban governance indicators (citizens participation, justice and taking responsibility) and elevates other indicators like the authority of urban manager, mayor power, coordination and cooperation between council and municipality, expertise in municipal body, surveillance power of council and consistency in urban management. Using the model also, decline the dependency of political elements over national level and in an overall view invigorates institutional management the city of Tehran. |
