Lack of attention to the problem of identifying and increasing sustainable revenues in major cities as Tehran is one of the major challenges in our way toward targets on sustainable management of urban areas in Vision 1404 Act. Section 5 of Tehran Master Plan، which is titled by Economic Development Of The City Of Tehran، emphasize on The issue of sustainable alternative sources of revenue to cover the expenses of city and at the same time it necessitate a steady decrease in the share of revenue from residential construction (density and barter sales). One of the sustainable sources of revenue in municipal management is revenue from investments and participations. This article، based on provided data by the Investment organization of the Tehran Municipality explores this issue in period of 1382-1388. The results showed that during the period، about 50 projects have been reached to the stage of contract and only 5 of them (only 10% of projects) have been operated. About 20 projects، which have reached to their completion due date are still on construction phase and 14 projects are in designing phase yet. It should be mentioned، the value of collaborative projects during 1389 and the first six months of 1390 have seen significant growth that is a good sign for the future managers of Tehran Municipality.
