| Abstract | ||
| This study investigates the economic importance of contemporary cities in fostering growth and innovation for sustainable development, with Mosul serving as a detailed case study. Despite experiencing severe post-conflict challenges, Mosul retains strong potential for economic revitalization due to its strategic geographic position, skilled human capital, and existing urban infrastructure. The research illustrates how modern cities act as engines of sustainable development through innovation-driven activities, targeted investments, and effective urban planning strategies. The findings highlight the necessity of rebuilding post-conflict urban economies with an emphasis on resilience, sustainability, and knowledge-based development—positioning Mosul as a viable model for comprehensive urban regeneration.
