Tahrir Square Development

Tahrir Square Development

The Tahrir Square Development in Baghdad, Iraq, is the proposed first phase in architect Hisham N. Ashkouri's Baghdad Renaissance Plan. Based around an established traffic circle on the banks of the Tigris River in Baghdad's Central Business District, the proposed development would develop just under 150,000 square meters at a cost of approximately $860M. Included would be a 42 story hotel and office complex, resting on a three level retail, parks, and recreation concourse.

Renewable Energy 21st Century Technology

A key point of the Baghdad Renaissance Plan is not to impose additional loads on the electric and other utility infrastructures currently operating and serving the City of Baghdad. The Tahrir Square Development is designed to be largely self-contained in this respect, and as such will not tax the weakened infrastructure of the city unduly. It is important to use solar power (using the desert environment), wind, geothermal, and fuel cell technologies to back those other conventional power plants using fossil fuels. This will help reduce pollution and environmentally sensitive by-products. The environmental pollution will be minimized once such technologies are adopted. The design will also plan for capturing oil products from vehicles and vehicle waste products.
