The Department of Architecture at the University of Technology awarded the Master's Degree to Mustafa Ali Medalloul for his thesis entitled "urban consolidation ".
The discussion was attended by the assistant head of the department for scientific affairs and postgraduate studies. Dr. Basim Hassan Hashem and a group of lectures academic and postgraduate students.
The researcher discussed the The concept of urban integration In many of the proposals linking the existing and the new system, the process of creating a new interactive urban environment integrated with the existing fabric. , The research problem was related to (lack of a comprehensive theoretical framework for the characteristics and mechanisms of integration of the new and existing urban system). The importance of the research is to explore the ways and mechanisms adopted in the international development projects with the aim of integrating them with the surrounding context, and to develop a model for the mechanisms of integrating the new urban system and re-evaluating the urban development projects in the city of Baghdad.

The searcher have been focused (The need for a comprehensive knowledge framework to manage the dimensions (economic, social and urban) affecting the activation of urban cultural spaces locally (Urban, Economic and Social) . The research was based on a basic hypothesis that: "Cultural space is activated through the management of effective indicators for both urban and remote dimensions. Economic and social dimension), " This is within the methodology of the research prepared in the extraction of indicators for the management of dimensions (urban, social, economic) affecting the activation of the urban cultural space and extract the most important indicators for the management of each dimension, and study and extract solutions from global experiences to clarify their impact on the activation of cultural spaces and the most important strategies This process is applied in the application of measurement in the practical study of the selected area, namely the area of ((Mutanabi Street and cultural spaces in the surrounding area within the center of the old Rusafa))

The searcher have been focused Formal transformations in urban centers, has many dimensions in the development and integration of the urban structure of these centers. Therefore, the study dealt with many of the proposals and studies on urban centers and theories of its composition as well as transformations that occur within the centers and their distances and manifestations and causes, it was noted that these changes occur in a way that lacks the correct diagnosis and what is the reason behind the occurrence of these transformations. Thus, the research reached its cognitive problem, which revolves around the problems of determining the components of an integrated urban structure for urban centers, this requires research into its formal transformations .for that, the main objective of the research (Achieving a comprehensive theoretical framework on urban centers, their components and their transformations) The rest of the research objectives focused on identifying the factors influencing the achievement of an integrated urban structure and extracting the most important elements that are reflected in these formal transformations .
