الجزء الثاني: الحاضر
كتاب يتناول ماضي وحاضر ومستقبل مركز المدينة التاريخية الواقعة في وسط بغداد الكبرى اليوم ويتناول إمكانيات احياء هذه المنطقة الحيوية وتطويرها بما يخدم تنمية اقتصاد المدينة ورفاهية مجتمعها كعاصمة للعراق من جهة وضمان استدامة التراث الحضري والحفاظ عليه من جهة اخرى.
This book is a rare addition to Iraq's vision of what the historical city of Baghdad might become in the future. This study is considered very important as it presents fundamental ideas concerning the future of the heritage of Baghdad, which is seriously threatened with extinction or eternal distortion. I value the outstanding efforts exerted by the author in developing this new vision in a record period... and in contributing his vision to save what can be saved and be the signal to start to revive this ancient city that has long suffered.
