Abstract

Institutional collaboration in urban management is the result of activities between urban organizations that contribute to collective action and have characteristics of trust, cooperation, participation, interaction, facility, and integrity. Therefore, it reflects the formation of the role of urban renewal of sustainable management of the actors in the areas of policy-making, administrative and executive management, and administrative development that facilitate institutional interaction. The present study focuses on the institutional capacity of cooperative management of renewed and worn fabrics of Iranian cities and the metropolitan Ahwaz in particular. The research method is an explanatory and descriptive approach to quantitative and qualitative analysis. Therefore, the required information was collected by reviewing reliable scientific documents, obtaining experts’ opinions in the field and conducting interviews with managers and staff member agencies. The statistical techniques of Pearson correlation coefficient and multivariate regression in the SPSS are used to analyze the data. Also, with regard to the social network analysis, UCI NET is used for the analysis of semi-structured interviews. The results showed that, depending on their role, each agency should promote institutional capabilities consistent with the related requirements and consider sustainable urban renewal as a default action. In order to fulfill the integrated management approach in sustainable urban renewal in the city of Ahwaz, it is essential that each institution has a participatory approach. It is worth noting that setting mutual relations between the players and cooperation among them must be based on a long-term program that takes public interests into account.
