Planning and Design the Sustainable Streets within Iraqi Urban Centers: Grafting Public Space–Street

Nowadays, societies are entering into imaginary orbits and more than one name in a virtual world in which the identity of societies and the human soul is lost at the crossroads of digital transformation. So, when the discussion of place and identity between specialists and researchers all belongs to the same principle and called it home, where it represents all that the human memory holds about all the elements of stability and security from the walls of the house itself to the human relations that bring its people through the street and neighborhood which is full of life and its understanding of the identity of the citizen. Therefore, we have to stand on this continuing human nature to be the basis in the planning of our urban problems, where the urban planner (whether in the decision center or the architect) is still the owner of the decision-maker and the role of the user does not be more than an opinion on some planning steps, by relying on traditional concepts but with contemporary starting points because the Islamic urban environment is a self-constructed environment and qualified to embrace the standards of global sustainability and accept changes more, especially after the Coved 19 pandemic. The problem of research discusses the relationship between the identity of the urban street and society, which depends on the conflict between the designer and the inhabitants within the urban environment, which needs to be planned and designed sustainably and intelligently to produce the new, based on the two research assumptions, with the possibility of drawing up a sustainable policy of design and planning and finding sustainable urban alternatives that are effective and ready to be implemented away from current planning solutions that still patchwork solutions that still work in the same traditional retrograde systems without any attempt to get out of them where the experience of the current “Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street” and what is being studied. In it the development and rehabilitation as a model of the pros and cons and what we really need to start realistically and correctly, and planning proposals for the sites of some sustainable villages that can be invested and activated to gradually integrate within Iraqi cities to be a living model to be emulated and accepted by our society, who can provide the best support for technology, culture and economic reality to the new cities trends. The research works to add a vital and essential axis in the process of designing and planning the urban center or the rehabilitation of the streets and develop a modern and contemporary definition of the concept of the sustainable street within urban architectural formations; the street is not only for movement and orientation but is the pulse of the city and the center of life in it through our understanding of the near heritage, which is a modest practice but a rich experience and deserves to be reviewed and activate the elements of design and planning in a way that ensures the continuity of cities and their inhabitants
