Abstract

The urban problems that emerged in the Old City of Mosul's Meydan neighborhood have been addressed. By examining the issues caused by the extensive destruction following the war, a problem analysis of the Meydan neighborhood in Mosul has been conducted. This neighborhood has suffered serious devastation due to the impact of the war, facing significant problems such as areas lacking safety, destroyed buildings, and roads. Additionally, service-related issues like water and electricity disruptions, waste management problems, and infrastructure deficiencies have adversely affected the quality of life in post-war cities.

In this context, the study introduces the post-war condition of the historical city and the resulting problems. The current state of the Old City of Mosul has been documented through observations and photographs. Moreover, old urban plans and historical photographs have been used as references to thoroughly examine the extent of destruction and problems in the present-day city plans and visuals.

In conclusion, comprehensive recovery and reconstruction efforts are required to address the problems faced in the Meydan neighborhood of the Old City of Mosul. Key steps should include restoring infrastructure, enhancing security measures, ensuring regular provision of essential services, and developing waste management systems. Additionally, a sustainable planning process must be implemented, preserving the historical heritage and involving neighborhood residents in the decision-making. The combination of these efforts aims to restore the vitality of the Meydan neighborhood in the Old City of Mosul, creating a healthy, secure, and prosperous living environment for its inhabitants. To achieve this, strong cooperation and support between the local community, international community, and local authorities should be established.
