Sadr City, Urban district in northeastern Baghdad, Iraq
The district covers an extensive area with narrow streets, residential blocks, and local markets serving over two million inhabitants of northeastern Baghdad.
Built in 1959 under Prime Minister Abdul Karim Qassim's administration, the district was designed by Greek planner Constantinos Apostolou Doxiadis to address housing shortages.
The district maintains strong connections to Shi'a traditions, with numerous religious centers and community gatherings throughout its neighborhoods.
Local markets within the district provide residents with daily necessities, while public transportation connects the area to central Baghdad.
The district's street layout follows a grid pattern with numbered sectors, making navigation systematic despite its large scale.
