One of the most important and complex social developments in the last half century is the development of urbanization and one of the most essential factors associated with urban development is the issue of sustainable urban development. This form of development, while meeting current needs, ensures the continued empowerment of future generations of urban communities in various environmental, economic, social and cultural dimensions. One of the components that helps sustainable urban development in ensuring this ability is citizenship education. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between citizenship education and sustainable urban development in the city of Ardabil. The theoretical framework and theoretical model was developed using theories of citizenship like that of Brian. S. Turner, Rousseau, Machiavelli, Asler and Starkey. The research population consisted of the citizens of Ardabil, of which, using Cochran's formula, 384 people were selected as the sample via a multi-stage clustering sampling technique. Pearson correlation test and structural equation modeling were used for inferential tests. The results showed that the proposed model of relationships between variables had an acceptable fit. There was also a positive and significant relationship between citizenship education and indicators of sustainable urban development. Significant level (p) of cultural and social indicators was 0.01, economic and environmental indicators was 0.05. For citizenship education to have a greater impact on sustainable urban development, it is necessary to first provide the education platform (comprehensiveness and dynamism of law, welfare and social security) in society, then remove the intervening conditions (institutional distrust, lack of cultural development and inefficiency of formal education) that hinder development.
