Assuming there is no single solution can be circulated to all informal residential areas, but each case should be treated with a special dealing according to different attributes that will be the criteria for evaluating these cases, and this can be determined at the level of the city as a whole and with the participation of stakeholders in determining the weights of these evaluation criteria for the cases. The research to achieve its goal adopt a search structure included a theoretical study, analytical study, and practical study for the case of the degraded informal residential areas in Baghdad (within the limits of the Municipality of Baghdad) through the adoption of primary and secondary sources of information with the analysis of the different experiences in dealing with these areas.
