- Abstract
The residential neighborhood is considered the basis of the city’s urban construction. Contemporary trends have focused on the possibilities of developing residential neighborhoods to achieve a high quality of life for their residents. On this basis, many international criteria for sustainable neighborhoods have emerged. Given that the local criteria of the Iraqi Housing Authority are still within the traditional criteria, the research resorted to filling the knowledge gap through a theoretical framework based on discussing the basic concepts of the residential neighborhood, modern trends, and academic studies for developing the residential neighborhood while studying international criteria and recent studies in the criteria of sustainable residential neighborhoods. The theoretical framework resulted in extracting the basic criteria for planning, designing and testing their applicability in the local reality, achieving the research goal of addressing and developing local criteria and their applicability. The research was directed at application to the local reality within the practical framework while following the descriptive and quantitative approach in analysing data for selected samples of new residential projects. To conclude the possibilities of achieving design and planning criteria in modern projects, the research reached the most important recommendations for developing and amending the local criteria of the Housing Authority to suit the requirements of the current population and achieve quality life.
