    Alsumaria News - Localities

    Today, Tuesday, Alsumaria News reviewed an American report that talks about an ill-conceived urban campaign in Baghdad, pointing out that investment in real estate has become a tool for money laundering.


    A report by the American newspaper The New York Times stated that "along the highway of the Dora region south of Baghdad, the amputated trunks of palm trees are diagnosed in front of the eyes through the sandy land as if they were fingertips protruding from a grave." witnessed in the capital. 






    The report added, "Many of Baghdad's gardens and orchards have been sacrificed to an ill-conceived urban campaign over the past ten years, as a result of which the green spaces that were contributing to mitigating the air temperature have shrunk." 

    He pointed to "a legal and illegal reconstruction movement escalating in Baghdad amid a severe housing crisis, and what Prime Minister Muhammad Shia'a al-Sudanese described as a money laundering process that is harnessed in huge real estate investments." 

    "We are losing Baghdad's pulsating lung day after day," said Mariam Faisal, a lecturer at Al-Farabi University in Baghdad. 

    Faisal added, "The green area in the capital has shrunk over the past two decades, 

    The report stated, “

    And he explained, “The cement and metal roofs that are without trees and plants absorb heat and then radiate it again, forming what is known as the heat of residential islands.” 

    The report notes that “Iraq, with its Declining water levels, widespread desertification and rapidly increasing population, is considered one of the countries most vulnerable to the consequences of climate change in the world. However, according to environmental specialists, successful governments have largely ignored this worsening crisis. 

    "The loss of green space has worsened since 2003," says Mahmoud Aziz, director of planning in the Baghdad municipality, referring to "the weakness of the Iraqi state and the weakness of control measures." 

    And the report returns, to confirm; “In a city where summer temperatures exceed 50 degrees Celsius, this extreme heat combined with increased air pollution poses a health risk to the poor who do not have access to air conditioning, and the people most vulnerable to these risks are the elderly, children and the sick."
    And he goes on, "During the past two decades, the temperature rise in the Arab Gulf countries, including Iraq, was twice as fast as the rest of the world, as the temperatures there during the summer days reached an almost unbearable stage."
