The Cheetgar lake landscape project is among projects implemented in Tehran by Tehran Municipality. This project, with its large-scale intervention, has had significant impact on the whole city morphology, regional micro-climate, citizenship behavior metamorphosis, sustainable urban economy and overall urban landscape of Tehran. This paper discusses pathology and weaknesses in various stages of design and construction in Cheetgar Lake and generally defined in the initial stage of the project, which is focused on the context and layout of the modernist ideas. These damages in the later stages of the project are mostly resulted from conflicts between legal legislations and project goals. Moreover, as Tehran lacks a defined ecological framework integrated with other urban systems unlike cities such as Berlin and Milan and this deficiency will destroy i one of the prerequisites to achieve the overall objective of "sustainable city". In other words, the unique aspects of Tehran main strategy to achieve the objective have not been defined in terms of sustainability.
