This study employs a discourse-economic analysis to explore the roles of governmental, media, and public discourses in shaping urban justice and equitable resource distribution in Iran. Through critical discourse analysis, the findings reveal that media discourse significantly raises public awareness and applies social pressure, thereby reinforcing public discourse and amplifying civic demands. By spotlighting urban inequalities and social challenges, the media exerts considerable influence on policymakers to pursue more just urban policies. In parallel, public discourse—manifested through civic participation and protests—motivates policymakers to equitably distribute resources and address infrastructural shortcomings. While governmental discourse functions as the principal agent of urban policy and resource allocation, it is often constrained by macroeconomic priorities and financial limitations, rendering it unable to fully meet public needs and, at times, worsening inequalities between urban areas. This research underscores the necessity of fostering constructive interaction and synergy among these three discursive fields to achieve urban justice. In this regard, the study advocates for the innovative use of digital platforms to enhance communication and civic engagement. Digital platforms can empower citizens to directly express their needs and demands to officials, while enabling the media to more accurately reflect public concerns. Moreover, these platforms offer marginalized groups a vital space to voice their issues and participate meaningfully in urban policy discourse. The findings highlight that synergy between media, public, and governmental discourses can advance urban justice and promote fairer resource distribution. As such, the study recommends strengthening these interactions through digital platforms, which can facilitate inclusive dialogue and enhance alignment between governmental action and societal needs.
