Abstract: At the moment urban agglomeration sees how cities grow and expand within a shorter period by overlooking the existence of natural eco-system. Natural and built components of the urban environment are the main focal point for sustainable development strategies of a city. Unfortunately, economic pressure being the major driving force of our cities development always cater for high dry-land considering wet areas like a wetland, canals, khals, lowlands, water reservoir etc. as backward and primitive. Wetland and water-related resources all over the world are given less priority which is acute in urban areas and Bangladesh is not an exception. Water and water-related resources are not maintained properly resulting continuous deterioration of wetlands and water bodies. Considering Ananya R/A, Chittagong, a developing residential area on wetland, as study site this paper aims at acknowledging some ideologies of development in a wetland which will contribute to enriching the natural environment of the area by introducing chemistry of land-water-ecology.
