دراسة تقويمية لإستراتيجية انتخاب المحاور الموضوعية (Thematic routs) في مشروع التجديد الحضري لمدينة الموصل القديمة.

Governments attempt to take advantage of cultural heritage that is rich in old cities, and work on its rehabilitation to achieve many goals well known to people who works in the urban renewal field. Like other Arabic Islamic cities, Mosul is characterized with its richness of cultural and spiritual heritage and all its alleys tell the story of building and their memories. The most recent studies on inter urban renewal for many cities in Iraq (including the project of urban renewal of the old city of Mosul, done at end of 2009) adopted by the General Directorate of Urban Planning, which has referred to a number of expert companies, is a clear example of that projects which the country took an interest in it recently. Although the project has prepared surveys of the case and has adopted strategy of identifying a set of thematic routes that formed essential arteries of the urban area of the old city of Mosul, but that strategy remained in many cases, vague and far from the reality of the urban space and its potentiality. This paper attempts to evaluate the strategy of the election of such routes carried out by that project through the findings of that study on one hand. In addition, between the reality of the surveying of a number of those routes on the other hand, to distinguish the compatibility of the real situation with the goals of that project and then the validity of those strategies. The results declare that the election of such routs is far away from actuality, so that it is true to announce that this strategy is invalid with in the corresponding of potentiality of the actual case of Mosul city.
