In December 2017, Iraq declared full liberation from IS after recapturing all areas once seized by the extremist group. However, citizens of Baghdad still have fears of outlaw armed groups and gangs who could intimidate or harm civilians.
"Most importantly, it is a safe and comfortable environment for families, no strangers are allowed inside," Zaidi added, praising security within the complex.
A security supervisor in the complex named Abu Ali noted that "for the security provided by living in the complex, some families sold their houses to purchase an apartment here. It is a relief from worrying about the threat of armed groups," he said.

In face of the rapid increase in population, vertical architecture seems to be the right solution for Baghdad, especially with the country becoming a fertile ground for new investment projects as the new government seems keen to promote investments in the country.
Several apartment complexes have emerged in the Iraqi capital, such as the Iraq Gate project which overlooks al-Zawra Park and includes apartment buildings, a hospital, shopping center and an international school.
However, infrastructure in Baghdad and other major cities in Iraq remains in a dilapidated state with unrepaired deteriorated roads, almost non-existent public toilets and hospitals lacking capacity and cleanness.
