Kurdistan - next Dubai ?

Iraqi Kurdistan or Kurdistan Region (Kurdish: Herêmî Kurdistanî, Arabic: إقليم كردستان ) is an autonomous Region since 1991 (de facto state) in Iraq.It borders Iran to the east, Turkey to the north, Syria to the west and the rest of Iraq to the south. Its capital is the city of Arbil , known in Kurdish as Hewlêr. The Region is officially governed by the Kurdistan Regional Government KRG.

Following the 1991 uprising of the Iraqi people against Saddam Hussein in Gulf war , many Kurds were forced to flee the country to become refugees in bordering regions of Iran and Turkey. A northern no-fly zone was established following the First Gulf War in 1991 to facilitate the return of Kurdish refugees. As Kurds continued to fight government troops, Iraqi forces finally left Kurdistan in October 1991, leaving the region to function de facto independently; however, Iraqi Kurdistan continues to view itself as an integral part of a united Iraq but one in which it administers its own affairs.

The three governorates of Duhok, Erbil (Hawler) and Sulaimani comprise around 40,000 square kilometres and have a population of around 5 million.Disputes remain between the central Iraqi government and the Kurdish government about predominantly Kurdish territories outside the current borders of Iraqi Kurdistan. there are also issues of Kurdish disputed "sliced off" areas that was done by Saddam between Erbil and Baghdad weather they are to annex back to KRG or stay as they are.



KAR (Kurdistan autonomous region)

those disputed blocs colored in blue are all kurdish cities and 90% of their residents are kurds but were isolated from Kurdistan by Saddam for their oil reserves



KRG (kurdistan regional government)




Tourism

even though Kurdistan is located in the middle east but it has mountainous and beautiful landscapes with waterfalls every where and NY times has listed it amongst other 41 places in the world to visit in 2011.



Underground resources

KRG-controlled parts of Iraqi Kurdistan are estimated to contain around 45 billion barrels (7.2×10^9 m3) of oil, making it the sixth largest reserve in the world and 200.83 Trillion Cubic Meters of Gas. Extraction of these reserves began in 2007. As of July 2007, the Kurdish government solicited foreign companies to invest in 40 new oil sites, with the hope of increasing regional oil production over the following 5 years by a factor of five, to about 1 million barrels per day (160,000 m3/d).Gas and associated gas reserves are in excess of 200 TCF.

Other underground resources that exist in significant quantities in the region include coal, copper, gold, iron, limestone (which is used to produce cement), marble, and zinc. The world's largest deposit of rock sulfur is located just southwest of Erbil (Hewlêr).

Not a single American soldier been killed in Kurdistan since the 2003 invasion of Iraq as Saddam wasn't even in our region since 1991 . the Kurdish forces severely control the borders with surrounding countries and prevent trespassing of terrorist into the region even from the rest of iraq. the US army are also providing the Kurdish army (peshmerga) with advanced weapons and trainings

400 bed hospital | U/C

Singular Studio has been invited by Zozik Group for the application to a restricted competition for the construction of the new Kurdistan Regional Hospital in Erbil.

This is a 400-bed teaching hospital that presents a double challenge. From the point of view of the project is to gather all the bioclimatic conditions necessary to reduce their energy consumption to the minimum rates, so for exemple, the emergency power supply must be ensured even with renewable sources throughout the year , an issue that is a challenge because of the area where is placed the project, which is well known for having a temperature range of about 65 degrees between winter and summer.

the project must be completed in 20 months, with a foreword maximum period extended to 25 months. In this sense, we are assessing the performance of the building with techniques of pre-industrialization, to cut costs in terms of implementation as well as tools and machines hire, an issue not fully available.

The application for the construction of this hospital is the result of negotiations launched in October following the journey of exploration carried out by José Moragues to Kurdistan, and will be developed jointly by Singular Studio and the prestigious firm of architects IAAA Architects.

City of SULAIMANI

Intro

Sulaimania (Kurdish: سلێمانی / Silêmanî / Slemani ); is a city in Iraqi Kurdistan. It is the capital of Slemani Governorate and served as the capital of the Kingdom of Kurdistan from 1921 until 1924. it is surrounded by the Azmar Range, Goizja Range and the Qaiwan Range in the north east, Baranan Mountain in the south and the Tasluje Hills in the west. The city has a semi-arid climate with very hot and dry summers and very cold winters. it has served as the historic capital of the Kurdish principality of Baban from 1784 to 1850.

The modern city of Slemani was founded in 14th November 1784 by the Kurdish prince Ibrahim Pasha Baban who named it after his father Sulaiman Pasha. Because it was founded as the capital of a powerful Kurdish principality, it has developed into a large city with a population of about 759,508 people. It is the cultural center of the Sorani-speaking Kurds and an important economic center for Iraqi Kurdistan.

in 2008 the Kurdistan regional Governments (KRG) former presidents 'Nechir barzani' promised the Kurdish people that in 10 years we will be if not just same but better than Dubai

Kurdistan was under the economic sanction right until 2003 , even tho its had total autonomy from iraq since 1991 but it was still part of iraq and suffering as much . so it takes time for all kurds to be wealthy in the country but right now about 60% of kurds living a wealthy life as per a survey conveyed by the KRG.

and in few years when the oil pumps more barrels everyone will have an income from it and all kurds will be very wealthy

very nice developments for Kurdistan this but i have to say that they will have a very hard time if they want to catch up with Uae and the other Arab oil States and unfortunately Kurdistan dont have beaches by the sea. And the possibility for a port to rival Jebel ali in Dubai is non existent.

But yet still it is very good to see another country of the middle east rise out of poverty and war. And it might also still become a place with alot of commerce and Banking and the prospects of mining out minerals and metals is very good and Australia made alot of money from that.

and many tourists may want to visit this more mountainous region instead of just sea and desert so the prospects for tourism may be good too. And they always could build some wacko structures to attract more people. And if they choose to take a rather unorthodox move they could go for legalizing gambling and become the first real las Vegas of the middle east. Egypt has some already but if Kurdistan invest alot they could easily outmatch it.

remember these developments only started since 2007 when the kurdish government offered investors a 10 year land tax free , so give it another 10 years it will be competing with Gulf states
