This article examines Baghdad's sectarian polarization by exploring the construction of separation walls in the neighborhoods of Adhamiya and Kadhimiya. Like others in the capital, both neighborhoods had suffered from sectarian violence, inflamed by destructive policies and political rhetoric, and the transformation of the city's urban character. Through the framework of spatial justice, we question how urban space may foster social resilience and sectarian re conciliation to overcome divisions.
