Urban renewal is a complex process that requires a delicate balance between preserving the cultural heritage and historical identity of cities, meeting contemporary residents' needs, and developing infrastructure. Thus, urban renewal refers to reviving and revitalizing historical centers without compromising their historical identity, as they represent a national economic wealth if exploited for tourism. The study seeks to demonstrate urban renewal in Iraq (which means a multi-faceted process coming from the context of a long history and a present full of challenges. After decades of wars and conflicts, Iraqi cities seek to rebuild themselves and raise them to a level that keeps pace with future aspirations), while clarifying the components and methods of urban renewal, challenges, and treatments in Iraqi society.
