SPECIALIZE IN SUSTAINABLE URBAN ENVIRONMENT A faculty member working at the Architectural Engineering Dept. The University of Baghdad since 2002. Graduated from the same department in 1997. After a while, took her master degree in urban studies in the Higher Institute of Urban & Regional Planning, University of Baghdad2000. Her Ph.D. has been taken from the same institute with a rewarded research scholarship at the United States of America for one academic year at MIT in SPURS program for urban studies. Specialist in urban sustainability with many certificates, courses, and official thanks' letters and published many research papers concerning urban sustainability criteria and environmental assessments. Nowadays, she committed to teaching her undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Baghdad the principles of sustainability and sustainable urban environment & architecture. She has been promoted to an Associate Professor issued by the Ministry of Higher education - University of Baghdad, 31-8-2016. She developed her own small business; designed and built many buildings as an advisor and designer and participated as an urban designer and planner in developing many Iraqi master city planning.
Her research interests include applying the principles of sustainable urban environment & architecture using simulation programs with many official certificates, courses, and thanks' letters, and working on the transforming toward smart and resilient cities.

The absence of ecological perception in the local urbanization resulted in the lack of a clear conception of achieving sustainability in its simplest form in the urban reality and in the city of Baghdad in particular. The research assumes the possibility of achieving urban sustainability in Iraqi cities by applying the cities for the most effective methods to implemented ecological solutions and introducing appropriate urban planning tools and improve the living environment. The research focuses on the ability to define some aspects to achieve a sustainable local urban identity from global experiences. This was performed by proposing a scheduled theoretical framework, through which th
Given the importance of ecology and its entry into various fields in general and the urban environment particularly; ecological cities take wide ranges of application at multiple regional and global levels. However, it repeatedly noted that there was a state of cognitive confusion and overlapping in the term ecology comes from the diversity of implementation within several disciplines. Architects, designers, and planners have instilled biological development directly into the formal principles as well as the social structures of the ecological cities. Therefore, the research presents a rapid review of the most relevant areas that dealt with the ecological cities by research and analys
Motives: Baghdad is the capital city and an important political, administrative, social, cultural and economic centre of Iraq. Baghdad’s growth and development has been significantly influenced by efforts to accommodate various needs of its steadily growing population. Uncontrolled population and urban growth have exerted negative effects in numerous dimensions, including environmental sustainability because urban expansion occurred in green spaces within the city and the surrounding areas.Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the planning solutions in Baghdad’s green areas in the past and at present, and to identify the key changes in the city’s green areas, including changes in the ratio of green urban spaces to the tota
