Civil rights are the most important issues in the contemporary rights. However, considering the word citizen and the term civil rights, their investigation seems to be useful to truly clarify the civil rights. Citizenship is one the most significant social concepts coined to help better understanding of society, its internal affairs and the conduct of actions and behaviors. Likewise the others, this concept reveals its meaning in the historical- social context and within the conceptual networks. As cities, at the present time, increasingly gain importance and with the rise in urban population and the emergence of megalopolises, in addition to the accumulation of wealth and great powers, cities become the units with high political capabilities. In the meantime, strengthening the citizenship in general and the ethics of citizenship in particular could be a suitable and cultural way to link the legal, political and social domains to each other. Since three decades ago in urban planning, our country, to some extent, has been able to create some metropolises rather than one to help the distribution of population in the country. However, this, on its own, could not improve the culture and the ethics of citizenship. With the socio-cultural problems in cities, the discomfort of citizens and the negative effects on the country’s macro policies, the formation and institutionalization of ethics of citizenship seem essential for us. Therefore, with the suggestions to increase the awareness and understanding of society and the activation of citizen participation in promoting ethics of citizenship and its institutionalization, a serious step will be taken for the recognition and the full implementation of civil rights.
