The Center of Urban and Regional Planning Center at the University of Baghdad discussed the Master’s thesis entitled “The Role of Affordable Housing in Reducing the Phenomenon of Informal Settlements” by student Adnan Ibrahim Abdullah, supervised by Professor Dr. Areej Khairi Al-Rawi. The thesis aimed to explore the role of affordable housing in reducing the spread of informal settlements by analyzing the impact of providing suitable housing options for low-income groups. The study was based on the hypothesis that implementing housing programs effectively contributes to reducing informal settlements and improving the living conditions of residents.<\/span><\/h4>\n

The practical aspect of the study was implemented in a specific informal settlement in Baghdad (Abu Ghraib). A random sample of residents was selected to complete questionnaires that focused on assessing their housing needs and living challenges.<\/span><\/h4>\n

The thesis recommended the necessity of strengthening government policies that support affordable housing, improving coordination among relevant authorities, and involving the local community in the planning and implementation process to ensure the sustainability of the solutions provided.<\/span><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
