Baghdad, keeps track of the many mutations that have punctuated its history. From Al-Mansour’s conception of plans for a circular city to the civilizational shocks that shaped its political and cultural landscape, this cosmopolitan city has been transformed by the actions of time and a succession of leaders with varying aspirations.
Over the last few hundred years, Baghdad’s urban planning has undergone countless changes, reflecting profound changes in society.
