Abstract Details

2019, PhD, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning: Architecture.
The Baghdad–Berlin Railway played a central role in the modernization of the City of Mosul, including its urban form, its architecture, and its housing. The development of railway infrastructure led to the opening of new streets, particularly Nineveh (Ninawa) Street, and the establishment of the Mosul railways and its complex, including the Mosul railway station and the railway workers’ housing. Comparative case studies will illustrate the railway’s impact on the modernization, urban form, architecture, and housing of cities in other locations to show how the establishment of the railway and changes in technology impacted the town’s conversion into a different type of city, a city with an ethnically mingled community. This conversion can inspire current urban and architectural designers in the development and reconstruction of this city, especially given its present devastation resulting from the war to liberate it from ISIS.
