Baghdad Behind Walls: Mapping Urban Heritage for Spatial Justice

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This article examines Baghdad’s sectarian polarization by exploring the construction of separation walls in the neighborhoods of Adhamiya and Kadhimiya. Like
others in the capital, both neighborhoods had suffered from sectarian violence,
inflamed by destructive policies and political rhetoric, and the transformation
of the city’s urban character. Through the framework of spatial justice, we question how urban space may foster social resilience and sectarian reconciliation to
overcome divisions.
