Full Infrastructure Rollout for New Al-Sadr City Project
By John Lee.
Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani chaired a meeting on Wednesday of the High Committee overseeing the New Al-Sadr City Project in Tuzai, issuing directives to implement all infrastructure components alongside the residential construction phases.
The meeting reviewed progress following the launch of service infrastructure works and examined the most efficient economic and urban planning models for the city's development. The initial phase includes 11,000 residential units, with detailed discussion on their architectural layout and distribution.
Major service components of the project were addressed, including: Location and integration of the city's power station into the national grid.
Development of water, sewage, and telecommunications networks, and their connection to existing systems.
Plans for road linkages to Baghdad, including access to the fourth and fifth ring roads and future Baghdad metro tracks.
Al-Sudani instructed that infrastructure works be carried out concurrently with all project components to ensure synchronised progress. He also ordered that a monthly progress report be submitted to his office, covering the full scope of the project.
The New Al-Sadr City initiative is one of Iraq's largest planned urban developments and is expected to ease housing pressure in Baghdad while improving urban connectivity.
