Overview
More than just infrastructure, Basra Gardens weaves Iraq's prosperous past into its sustainable future. The masterplan transforms the desert into a verdant, water-sensitive ecosystem with climate-responsive architecture that honors traditional design principles. Community life flourishes along pedestrian-friendly boulevards and shaded gathering spaces, while the integrated water network recalls the region's historic relationship with the Tigris-Euphrates. This isn't just a new city center - it's a living model of how Iraqi cities can grow gracefully, offering residents both modern comforts and profound connections to their cultural landscape.
Rising from the need to alleviate pressure on historic Basra, this 7.6 sqkm masterplan reimagines urban living through a sustainable, garden-city model. Designed to accommodate 15 years of population growth, the development integrates 5,000 villas and 10,000 apartments across 30 towers with complete urban amenities - from healthcare campuses to educational hubs, commercial districts to hospitality venues.
