Information/Report..
Thousands of slum and encroachment residents are waiting for the House of Representatives to approve the slum bill to reduce the problem that is worsening with the rise in real estate prices.
Observers warn that these alarming figures about the number of informal settlements, which amounts to about 5,000 communities, inhabited by about 4 million people, constitute an alarm bell that calls for the adoption of radical and urgent solutions to this issue.
The phenomenon of informal housing is expanding in various Iraqi cities with the continuing housing crisis and the high prices of houses and land, as successive governments have not addressed this chronic crisis that is worsening.
Iraq includes more than 4,670 slums inhabited by more than 3 million and 725 thousand Iraqis, meaning that nearly 10% of Iraqis live in slums.
The media spokesman for the Ministry of Construction, Istibraq Sabah, explained that “there is a law currently being discussed to solve the problem of slums, as it seeks to address those who encroach on residential use within the boundaries of the basic design.”
In turn, the National Investment Commission confirmed that the new cities referred for implementation will provide more than one million housing units in the capital, Baghdad, and the rest of the governorates, which will contribute to the first steps in addressing the slums file.
The spokesman for the National Investment Commission, Muthanna Al-Ghanmi, said in an interview with Al-Maalouma Agency, "The coming days will witness the acceleration of the implementation of new residential cities, including Al-Jawahiri City in Abu Ghraib District and Ali Al-Wardi in Al-Nahrawan District within the capital, Baghdad."
He added, "Last week witnessed the official resumption of work in the Bismayah residential city, in addition to the noticeable progress in the completion rates of the new Sadr City project east of the capital, Baghdad."
Regarding the governorates, Al-Ghanimi confirmed that "there are new residential cities in the governorates, including (Al-Janain) in Babylon, (Dhafaf Karbala) in Karbala, (Al-Ghazlani) in Nineveh, (Fallujah) in Anbar, and other cities in the rest of the governorates."
The spokesman for the National Investment Commission noted that "the completion of these residential cities will eliminate a problem that has been deeply rooted in the capital, Baghdad, and the governorates for years."
Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani announced, early last week, the resumption of work and implementation of the Bismayah project, and while stressing not to pay attention to skeptical or treasonous voices, he directed to maintain the level of services provided to the city’s residents.
However, these complexes were not spared from criticism, which consumed the green spaces in Baghdad and a number of governorates.
Member of the Parliamentary Investment Committee, Mohammed Al-Ziyadi, criticized the mechanism by which residential complexes are established within regions and cities, pointing out the randomness of their establishment and the lack of consideration for green areas, population density, and the pressure generated on the infrastructure.
Al-Ziyadi told Al-Maalouma, "The basic design of residential cities and the rules on which they were designed made 30 percent of them green areas, and this is no longer the case at the present time after these areas were transformed into residential complexes."
He added that "the infrastructure, including sewage networks, water lines, electricity and sanitation, is under great pressure after the green spaces within residential areas were converted into concrete buildings and residential complexes, especially since the infrastructure is designed for specific areas and quantities that have a capacity that cannot be exceeded."
He pointed out that "there is planning without knowledge or feasibility study for new residential complexes."
The capital Baghdad and the rest of the Iraqi provinces are moving towards increasing the green spaces within and around their cities, to confront the problem of desertification that has struck the country for years. End/25Q
