Urban governance is a new process that in the urban planning system, having principles, criteria and indicators different from the previous approaches, has many players in the urban arena. In this research, the aim is to investigate the status of good urban governance indicators and their effect on the regeneration of the dilapidated fabric of Isfahan city.

The structural and content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed and its reliability was confirmed with a Cronbach's coefficient greater than 0.70. The statistical population of the research is made up of 250,214 residents of the dilapidated city of Isfahan. The sample size was determined by Cochran's formula, 384 people. SPSS version 24 and AMOS software packages were used for data analysis. The result of the T-Tech test showed that the variables of good urban governance are at a significant level of less than 0.05 and are in an average condition in the dilapidated fabric of Isfahan city. The result of the T-Tech test of the sample showed that the healing condition of the worn tissue was poor. In addition, the regression result confirmed that there is a significant relationship between good governance and regeneration and governance indicators can contribute more than 0.67% to improve urban regeneration and promote it.
