A member of the Parliamentary Services and Reconstruction Committee revealed, today, Monday, that (14) modern cities will be constructed in all governorates, with 550 thousand housing units for those with limited income.
Al-Mamouri said in a statement, “The Parliamentary Services and Reconstruction Committee held an expanded meeting at its headquarters, in the presence of the Minister of Construction and Housing, the head of the Investment Commission and the directors of planning and housing in the Ministry of Construction and Housing to discuss investment projects and to find out the reasons for the delay in implementing a number of them.”
He added, “Iraq suffers from a stifling housing crisis and needs three million housing units, which calls for taking serious measures and overcoming any obstacles that may hinder real solutions to get out of this crisis.”
Al-Mamouri explained, “The number of permits granted to investment projects has reached 2,400, of which 400 have been completed or under construction, while there are 1,800 lagging projects and 1,000 housing projects that are between fictitious and unfinished, in addition to others incomplete, although citizens continue to pay money.”
He added, “During the meeting, it was emphasized the importance of overcoming all obstacles that hinder the advancement of investment, accountability and withdrawal of work from lagging companies and contracting with others that have sobriety and efficiency to move forward in the reconstruction process.”
Al-Maamouri revealed that “14 modern residential cities will soon be built in all governorates, with 550 thousand housing units for those with limited income, as during the coming days, a number of them will be officially announced for direct implementation.”
