Urban regeneration in Kurdistan region March 2011
We are now in 6th year of this major redevelopment in the Kurdistan region.
Record number of properties have been built, some very substandard and some with very little attention to its longevity, using low quality material that shortens the life of the building.
This low level of quality control will be a major issue in construction industry in 10 to 15 years time; this is becoming more crucial as we witness more collapsed building in the Capital Arbil.
Most private housing development in Kurdistan are focused on maximum profitability and very little attention have been made to long term life of the building, neither proper insulation nor central heating system is considered for new build properties.
Renewable and green energy resource are base for our future energy consumption, there is no doubt in this fact, we need to start this policy without any delay, we cannot continue burning carbon to generate electricity.
Green alternative source to generate electricity is more cost effective and cleaner for our land long term, every new house that we build in Kurdistan can be self sufficient on most of its use, and we will reduce our carbon footprint as well as relaying less on national grid that is scares and limited.
