City and urban management are concepts that have close relations with each other. The interaction between elements of urban management that includes citizens, institutions of the city administration, Islamic council and the private sector can improve the performance of urban management.

The research method is descriptive- analytic and documentary and library studies and based on field investigations. The weight of indexes suggests that the index of identical model of administration of the city of all cities with a final weight of 0.59 has allocated the highest rank and the index of restrictions on the tasks of urban management institutions and with the final weight of 0.15 have allocated the lowest rank. Finally, after determining the final weight of indices, the final weight of cities was studied. According to the results of analysis, it was shown that comparing to other studied cities, the cities of Zahedan, Zabol, Iranshahar are preferred.
