Moreover, the Prime Minister emphasized that the Iraq New Sadr City project aligns with Iraq’s effort to support stability and improve the quality of life for citizens in Baghdad.
Looking at the broader implications, the construction of New Sadr City could attract domestic and international investment. This may open the door for long-term urban partnerships and funding opportunities.
In summary, this project signals the government’s determination to modernize Iraq’s cities and meet rising demand for housing, employment, and infrastructure.
