A workshop about residential complexes was held by the Department of Structures and Water Resources Engineering at the University of Kufa. The workshop aimed to give an introduction on how to select the appropriate complex in addition to the implementing companies for the residential complexes and the role of investment and oversight commissions in following up the progress of work. The workshop included a lecture by Dr. Ammar Al-Mousawi about residential complexes and the omissions that occurred in the supposed design of some complexes. The workshop concluded that it is necessary to provide service facilities and green areas, and support old neighborhoods by administrative commissions.
