"Urban Building" is the act of creating a physical space to advance urban functions and the city's spatial organization is formed in solidarity with its continuity. In this regard, managing the spatial-physical development of the city is one of the missions of urban management; By rejecting the gap between content and form, the lived experience of people facing this public organization can be considered as one of the aspects of reality to "explain and interpret how is Tehran’s urban building management system". The study population of this research consists of Tehran’s land developer who were purposefully sampled. Finally, eight in-depth interviews were conducted with the phenomenological strategy under the qualitative method and interpretive paradigm. In this regard, while Epoché’s principles were observed in all stages of the research, the researcher clustered and finally combined lived experiences to achieve a rich description. The findings of this study showed that in the lived experiences of builders, four categories of global themes were finally formed; which include "basic assumptions of Tehran urban building"; "empowering factors of builders"; "inefficiencies imposed by the building management system"; and finally, "the role of various stakeholders in the urban building of Tehran and its consequences." In a nutshell It can be summarized that Tehran urban building management system seeks to "stabilize its position and exercise its power" and to "perform those missions that have consequences, costs and legal prosecution", it pursues realization of the revenues he needs" from the building; and it follows this path, relying on the "empowering factors of builders (skills, facilities, motivations and innovations)", through its "inefficient processes and contents" and at the cost of "commoditizing urban space".
