Gol Gohar is not only intertwined with the name of Sirjan and has cast a shadow over its rich history, but has also informally influenced its urban management. If the considerable power of industries is aligned with the interests of their host city, it can become an effective instrument in the hands of urban management, compensating for a substantial part of the city's financial shortfalls for urban development and expansion. However, if the reverse occurs and urban management becomes an instrument that places addressing the industry's needs at the top of the city's priorities, the balance between benefits and hardships within the context of the industry's host city is disrupted. The aim of this research is to examine the factors, gaps, processes, and instruments within the structure of urban management that contribute to this disruption of balance. Therefore, the main question is: Under whose control is the current governance of the city of Sirjan? The necessity of understanding this issue lies in identifying and correcting the dysfunctional process in urban management and, consequently, directing the city's benefiting capital (the social responsibility of industries) toward the fundamental needs of its citizens. Using a multi-method Embedded Explanatory Case Study research design, this research concluded that if urban governance within the formal administrative structure and customary practices of the city (the municipality and City Council) is reformed, not only can the governance of the city be reclaimed in the city's interest, but through a set of proposals, the industry's social responsibility can also be redirected toward addressing higher-priority urban needs, so that both the city and its citizens benefit, the legitimacy of the industry among residents is enhanced, the city develops and prospers, and industrial productivity is also increased.
