Urban regeneration and the redesign of deteriorated urban fabrics can only succeed when decision-making and intervention processes are grounded in genuine public participation and citizens’ trust. In Tabriz, past experiences have shown that institutional weaknesses, complex administrative procedures, and the absence of constructive communication between urban management and residents have hindered effective public participation in renewal projects, leading many initiatives to stagnation or failure. This study was conducted with the aim of identifying and analyzing the challenges and barriers to public participation in the reconstruction and design of dilapidated urban areas in Tabriz. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research sought to provide a comprehensive understanding of the inhibiting factors and potential pathways for enhancing participation. The qualitative phase, based on thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with experts, revealed nine central themes: weak supportive regulations, institutional inefficiencies, insufficient social capacity-building, low social capital, poor information and educational processes, lack of prior participatory experience, ineffective monitoring systems, administrative complexity, and low public trust in urban management. The quantitative findings confirmed these themes and demonstrated that together they weaken citizens’ perception of participation and reduce their willingness to engage in urban renewal projects. The study’s main theoretical contribution lies in illustrating that sustainable participation in deteriorated urban areas can only be achieved when institutional reform, procedural transparency, and social trust-building are pursued simultaneously. Accordingly, the results of the research have significant practical implications for three groups: urban policymakers and managers in designing new participatory governance structures; urban planners and designers in formulating people-centered intervention strategies; and local institutions in strengthening social capital and community education. The findings ultimately show that any effective regeneration effort in Tabriz will remain unachievable unless the relationship between urban management and the public is fundamentally rebuilt.
