Sadr City ((アラビア語:مدينة الصدر) - ''Madinat aṣ-Ṣadr'') formerly known as الثورة and Saddam City, is a suburb district of the city of Baghdad, Iraq. It was built in 1959 by Prime Minister Abdul Karim Qassim and later unofficially renamed Sadr City after Ayatollah Mohammad Mohammad Sadeq al-Sadr.
Sadr City (or more accurately Thawra District — (アラビア語:حيّ الثورة) - ''ħayy ath-Thawra'') is one of nine administrative districts in Baghdad. A public housing project neglected by Saddam Hussein, Sadr City holds around 1 million residents.〔(Summary results of the census of buildings and installations and families in 2009 ) - the Iraqi Ministry of Planning, the Central Bureau of Statistics〕
==History==
Sadr City was built in Iraq in 1959 by Prime Minister Abdul Karim Qassim in response to grave housing shortages in Baghdad. At the time named Revolution City ( "Al-Thawra"), it provided housing for Baghdad's urban poor, many of whom had come from the countryside and who had until then lived in appalling conditions. It quickly became a stronghold of the Iraqi Communist Party, and resistance to the Baathist-led coup of 1963 was strong there.〔Marr, Phebe; “The Modern History of Iraq”, page 172〕
In 1982, the district was renamed Saddam City.〔(Baghdad (Iraq) ) - Encyclopædia Britannica〕 After the foreign occupation of Baghdad in April 2003, the district was unofficially renamed Sadr City after deceased shiite leader Mohammad Mohammad Sadeq al-Sadr.
