Urban Planning and Infrastructure in Mosul
The Institute of Regional and International Studies (IRIS) recently convened a roundtable in Mosul that gathered local officials, private sector representatives, and civil society actors from across Nineveh governorate. The meeting examined how urban expansion is shaping Mosul's economic trajectory at a moment when the city is still navigating the long aftermath of the conflict with Islamic State (ISIS).
Participants assessed the obstacles that continue to hinder investment, planning, and job creation. They also reflected on what a more stable and predictable development pathway might require.
The conversation highlighted the extent to which urban planning and political constraints are interlinked and how these relationships influence the city's ability to move beyond post-conflict reconstruction toward a more long-term strategy.
