The Supreme Committee for Public Taste was recently formed by the Mayor of Baghdad, and included a group of specialized academics and representatives of state institutions and the private sector.

It aims to prepare a new vision to address visual distortion and formulate standards and controls to be adopted by the municipal departments in the capital in their upcoming projects to revive public taste again, and to prepare a general strategy for public taste, which was proposed to be launched by the committee to be approved by higher authorities to preserve the capital beauty by determining the most beautiful form in terms of the perspective of streets, neighborhoods, building facades, the colors used, the way billboards and lighting poles are displayed, removing visual distortions and reviving the urban character of the city.

The attendees saw that the committee should take decisions that would preserve public taste in implementation of the directives of the Prime Minister, including identifying a number of streets to transform them into model sections that include all standards of public taste.
