Iraqi phoenix to rise from the ashes - The National

Noaman Muna returned to his native Iraq five decades after fleeing chaos and revolution in the 1950s.

"If I wasn't optimistic, I wouldn't have returned," says Mr Muna, who went back to Baghdad three years ago as a project manager to build the new headquarters of the Central Bank of Iraq after working at major architectural practices in London.

A decade after the United States war that ousted Saddam Hussein, plans are being drawn up to design a mega-city and urban planners and architects such as Mr Muna are at the vanguard.
