Adid Hasan Basha is considered to be one of the most important historical quarters in Baghdad. its value goes back to the Abbasid era when it used to be part of the Tuesday Market Quarter, then it was the administrative centre in Ottoman Baghdad Vilayet, it used to includes most important departments of the government & high class residence & it of remained so through the modern Iraqi state until the 1950s . Now the quarter has managed to maintain its historic urban fabric but it lost the residential value. The area has some specialised markets like the famous book & stationary market (Al- Mutanabi market which is active every Friday where cultural centres open their doors to visitors from all over Baghdad ) & antiques market the area also contains carpentry workshops & small presses.
The development consists two stages:
The first stage (to deal with the quarter completely) The development plans will be determined be considering the land use, buildings heights & architectural intervention level & the concept strategies .
Circulation: Development the vehicles & pedestrians movement ( including the development of the riverbank which is considered to be important in this field, without any harm to the archaeological layers . Religious side : reformulating & rebuilding the recently rebuilding & refurbishing religious buildings to make them regain their lost historical value & integrate them with the surrounding urban fabric. Cultural side: redevelopment the cultural centres & the rehabilitation of administrative buildings us cultural centres & museums such as turning the Jewish school into the Jewish archive museum, & the Qishleh Building into directorate of antiquities in addition to development of archaeological parks near the abbasid palace. residential side: rehabilitation of traditional houses, constructing of new independent housing units, mixed use buildings ,hotels & providing services like such as car parks, schools, etc. Commercial side: redevelopment specialised commercial markets by providing storages, shops, facilitating the movement of goods & ensuring the continuation of life in the market until midnight.

The second stage (a detailed description in two sites ) The first site aims to develop a residential area and preserve the heritage buildings. the newly built residential units will have the same old style of the traditional buildings. But in line with contemporary needs, the second project aims to develop Al- Mutanabi Street (books & stationery specialist market in Baghdad). The development of the market targets the buildings rehabilitation of the old sites, restructuring and building new sites that suit historical value of the market in order to gain the maximum benefit and to ensure the continuation of activity for the longest time possible. The project aims to provide a sufficient number of shops and via setting up a new arcade market that runs parallel to Al-mutanabi street. planting Citrus Aurantium trees can provide good shading , especially if we consider their suitability to the weather in Iraq. Also as part of the development plan, to provide concrete cube for the purpose of displaying books & sitting, instead of the current ones ( Books are displayed on the floor) The project also aims to solve the problem of storage and transportation of goods by constructing specially designed storages. Storages are connected to the main market via isolated corridors .
