چکیده:
Urban management is a concept that is simple and yet difficult to understand. The reason for this contradiction lies in its scientific applications and theoretical perceptions. Scientifically, although the principles and methods of managing cities have varied in different societies and various periods, in any case, cities have always been managed in some way. The difficulty of understanding and the complexity of the concept of urban management return to various theoretical perceptions and different interpretations of it. Sometimes urban management is summarized as managing the city within the framework of political systems and in the form of formal organizations. Sometimes urban management is defined as the application of the principles and methods of private organization management in the public domain. Sometimes urban management is defined in the form of international organization programs and as a method for solving the increasing problems of cities in developing countries. In addition to these, other definitions of urban management have been presented, which will be mentioned in this study. The diversity of these definitions has turned urban management into an ambiguous, complex, and, in the words of some researchers, elusive concept. Despite all this, there is no doubt that the expansion of urbanization and the increase in cities, and consequently the expansion of urban issues and problems, has turned urban management into one of the central concepts of urban studies. Today, phenomena such as urban poverty and homelessness, street crimes, informal settlements, environmental pollution, the expansion of the informal sector, and deprivation of services and infrastructure constitute part of urban issues and problems. Therefore, urban management is not limited only to the narrow framework of providing urban services, but rather encompasses much broader horizons and missions.
خلاصه ماشینی:
The objectives that an urban management can pursue are very diverse and include improving and enhancing the productive capacity of the city, reducing poverty, and protecting the urban environment for future generations in order to improve living conditions in urban areas, especially in developing countries, through the improved provision of public services and goods to the increasing number of poor individuals.
A comprehensive view of urban management, in addition to acting in providing various services such as water, drainage, waste collection, firefighting, police, and emergency services, environmental preservation in various forms (including inspection and control of food producers), public transportation, street lighting, construction and building regulations, planning, and even housing, should also address issues such as education, communications, employment, food, and energy.
J. Clark, within the framework of sustainable urban development, explains urban management in developing countries as follows: to achieve the goals of economic growth and improved justice within the framework of sustainable urban development management, a series of activities are required, such as 1- Designing and implementing correct policies that can maximize the efficiency of the private sector's role in planning, investment, financing, construction, implementation, maintenance, and service empowerment.
Within the scope of local management, tasks are very diverse and extensive, such as providing educational, welfare, and recreational services, as well as construction and management of public housing, construction of infrastructure networks, land expertise, construction permits, supervision, and acceptance of various activities, and therefore it includes a wide spectrum of duties.
