Karadah, also spelled Karada or Kharadah, is one of nine
administrative districts in Baghdad, Iraq. It is located
about a mile southeast of central Baghdad
Karrada (Arabic: كرّادة) is a major affluent district
of the city Baghdad, Iraq. It is of a mixed population
but it is noted for having majority of Shia population.
The presence of Christians are notable in the area. It
is considered one of the most integrated areas of the
city since its residences in general have roots in the
area.
Karrada as a land is part of a peninsula created by the
Tigris river significant turn, which gives this part of
the city a remarkable character. The area has the river
running on both sides. Although the peninsula created by
the river is not all Karrada, the latter represents the
major portion of it. The other significant part of the
peninsula, though not as big as Karrada, is Al-Jadriya.
It is a small district which lies at the south tip of
the peninsula where Tigris river makes its major turn
and heads to the north-east. Its significance comes from
the quality of life style of the neighborhood. The real
estate is the most expensive of all Baghdad. The design
and the building of the University of Baghdad Campus in
1958 in this area added to its value since this project
had become one of the important cultural centers of the
city. The University of Baghdad campus was designed by
Walter Gropius, AIA, Louis Mcmillen and Robert McMillan
of The Architects Collaborative.
University of Baghdad (UOB) (Arabic: جامعة بغداد,
Jami'at Baghdad) is the largest university in Iraq and
the second largest Arab university following University
of Cairo.
The university was commissioned by the Royal Government
of Iraq in the late 1950s and situated near the Tigris
river. Its buildings were designed by Walter Gropius,
Louis McMillen and Robert McMillan of The Architects
Collaborative, who commenced their master plan in the
1950s for a new University Campus for the Colleges of
Engineering, Sciences and Liberal Arts for a total of
6,800 students.
The campus was expanded in 1982 to accommodate 20,000
students plus support facilities. Architect Hisham N.
Ashkouri and Robert Owen developed the full academic
space program for the entire campus.
Baghdad University has suffered greatly as a consequence
of the occupation of Iraq, with as many as 90% of
students dropping out of some classes. This is down to
people moving away due to fear, combined with several
kidnappings and hostage takings of University students.
