The ideal city is a benchmark for revealing the shortcomings and inadequacies of the current situation in order to criticize the established system and move towards the ideal situation. Ideal city is a title for a terrestrial society that has a way to a high horizon while solving current human concerns. Therefore, explaining this city with a purely secular outlook is not possible. Amir Mominan Imam Ali's (PBUH) opinions arise from two criteria: reason and Shariah, and from this point of view, we can look at the realities in the world, find many of the facts, and finally cure pain without expecting the negative consequences and damages of current views. The purpose of this study is to consider human relations, specifically social and economic relations, as one of the main three dimensions of the ideal city based on eight previously extracted bases. Therefore, by collecting data and analyzing their contents, we will examine the viewpoint of Imam Ali (PBUH) on the characteristics of human relations in the ideal city. For this purpose, the research method is a combination of text and content analysis and meta-analysis methods. Finally, the features of each of the eight main principles in the ideal city, including Tawḥīd and God-centeredness, justice, life, human dignity, security, original human freedom, order, and ownership in the social and economic relations of the city's residents, have been presented. This research is a step in the direction of compiling the theoretical foundations of the Islamic city and documenting the characteristics and attributes of the Islamic city based on the words of the infallible imams (PBUH). The results show that the destination and goal of human communication is Divinity and Afterlifeism, and human rights are defined along with the divine rights and the protection of God's rights is done through the protection of people's rights.
