In the process of sustainable urban regeneration, people are regarded as the main point of focus and the most important pillar in this program. The three forces running this process are the state, the municipalities and the private sector, that along with coordinating and cooperating, each play a particular role:

People, as the first and foremost beneficiary community enjoying the process of sustainable urban regeneration, are the main basis of active participation in Improvement and renewal processes. (Including inhabitants, shopkeepers, owners, tenants, and clients);

Private sector, comprising of the professional society (including all specialized agencies and companies, developers, professionals, investors and capital-provider institutions), the elite (or in other words, all qualified agents and agencies involved in the fields of research, journalism, literature and education);

Municipalities, Islamic City Councils, Urban Renewal Organizations and other affiliated associations to the City Councils, which in the process of sustainable urban regeneration, have an administrative role to implement, direct and coordinate the programs;

The State, including all governmental institutions and executive agencies, which in the process of urban regeneration, are responsible for governing, policy making, facilitating, supporting, supervising and controlling on a nationwide scale.

Meanwhile, two types of institutions, on the facilitators (Offices for Neighborhoods Renewal Services, and Offices for Areas Renewal Services), and the developers are the connecting circles between these three forces. In addition to creating a space for concentrating the financial provisional system, planning, design and implementation of measures, developers take care of the required coordination with the state and the municipalities. The facilitators also have an important role in creating the bond between the inhabitants-owners, the state and the municipalities.
