The Iraqi Parliamentary Committee for Services and Reconstruction confirmed today, Wednesday, that the capital Baghdad is witnessing a "revolution" in urban and service development, not seen in many years. Committee member Mahdia Al-Lami stated that "Prime Minister Mohammed Shiya Al-Sudani is very interested in the service and urban aspects of the capital Baghdad," noting that "areas of the capital are currently experiencing a 'revolution' in urban and service development, particularly in the area of roads and bridges."
Al-Lami emphasized that "in the coming years, Baghdad will become one of the most beautiful capitals in the region, due to the significant and important projects that will take place, especially with the focus on parks, landscaping, lighting, and road paving, as part of the ongoing 'Baghdad is More Beautiful' campaign that has been in effect for months."
Earlier, Prime Minister Mohammed Shiya Al-Sudani launched a comprehensive national campaign for construction, reconstruction, and service development under the name "Iraq 2050." Meanwhile, the service and engineering team approved by the Council of Ministers has commenced the first phase of providing services to underserved areas in Baghdad and the provinces.
Service and Engineering Team member Mahmoud Al-Sudani stated in a press release, "The service and engineering team, based on the Prime Minister's directives, has started the first phase of providing services to marginalized areas."
Al-Sudani explained that "the role of the service and engineering team is to solve problems and take advantage of overlapping authorities positively, especially since the state has specialized equipment and efficient engineers." He added that "the first phase began in the Shakir Al-Aani area in Al-Huriya and the Dawanim area in Al-Shuala on the Karkh side," indicating that "once all services are completed, other sites in Baghdad will be opened."
Al-Sudani continued, stating that "the campaign includes providing complete and satisfactory services to the citizens of Baghdad," clarifying that "agricultural areas will be addressed according to the directives of the Ministry of Planning regarding paving and rainwater drainage."
