Convert closed CAD polylines into GIS polygons to enable attribute data mapping (e.g., calculating total area per zoning type).
The Erbil Master Plan (also known as Hewler Master Plan) is a comprehensive urban planning framework for Erbil (Hewler), the capital of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. It aims to guide the city's growth, infrastructure, land use, transportation, cultural preservation, and economic development over multiple decades, balancing modernization with historic preservation — notably the Citadel of Erbil, a UNESCO World Heritage site candidate.
Type UNITS and verify Insertion scale = Meters.
Erbil’s topography slopes gently from the northeast to the southwest. The DWG file often includes, or is paired with, digital elevation models (DEM) or contour layers. Planners use this data to design stormwater drainage networks, preventing flash flooding in low-lying western districts during heavy winter rains. 4. Challenges in Working with Erbil CAD Data Erbil Master Plan Dwg
This DWG represents the comprehensive physical planning framework for the expansion of Erbil, focusing on sustainable urban growth, transportation corridors, and preservation of the Citadel’s visual prominence. The drawing integrates existing conditions (2025 baseline) with proposed developments up to 2035.

Third-party or open-source CAD downloads found online should only be used for preliminary conceptual modeling, as they are frequently outdated and lack official legal status. Regulatory Alignment
Check the ArcGIS Erbil 2030 Land Use Layout for interactive web-based data that can sometimes be exported as shapefiles and converted to DWG.
Accessing official Erbil Master Plan DWG files usually requires coordination with the Erbil Municipality or the Ministry of Municipalities and Tourism. For preliminary research, many firms use converted GIS data. However, for construction-grade projects, it is imperative to use the most recent, verified version of the master plan to ensure compliance with local building codes and setback regulations.
