Basra, Iraq · 21 people · Industrial City
The Basra Governorate and Southern Oil Company manage Iraq's economic capital — controlling 70% of national oil export revenue via Fao Peninsula offshore terminals — while managing the Shatt al-Arab waterway where historically fresh Tigris-Euphrates waters now run saline from upstream extraction, operating city wide desalination as the primary freshwater source, and conserving the UNESCO-listed Iraqi Marshes (Ahwar) ecosystems at the city's southern boundary.
The seat for Basra on the Board of Mayors is open. Seat #1 is yours to take.
Take the Oath of OfficeLandmark: Shatt al-Arab waterway.
Take office and every day brings a live situation from the city's services: a decision to make and a result that is measured. A term is scored on approval, infrastructure, environment and innovation, inside a real budget, and every mayor's work adds to Basra's own record on the Board of Mayors. You are not alone in office: message and chat with other mayors, form a council with friends, trade with nearby cities and send aid. Cities rise together: there is no losing city.
