Description
It is now accepted that the hallmark of
recent construction activity in Baghdad
has been the comprehensive approach to
development. The majority of buildings
proposed in the city are of an integrated
nature, involving housing, offices, shopping, cultural and educational facilities,
the conservation of traditional neighbourhoods, as well as individual structures. However, there are also two other
factors in the process of physical planning
which are of paramount importance.
One is the policy adopted for upgrading
the quality of development, both in
terms of design and construction involving new materials and the latest building
technology. The other is concerned with
architectural style.
