The research examines the characteristics of the population of vertical housing projects in the city of Sulaymaniyah. At first it sheds light on the changes in the size of the population of Sulaymaniyah، which has undergone many changes due to economic، political and social factors، where the population was (35،520) in (1947)، while it reached (837،350) in (2020)، with an annual growth rate of (4.5%) during the aforementioned period. With regard to the characteristics of the population، the study focused on the characteristics of the population in vertical housing projects، which began to draw interest as a housing pattern in recent years. In terms of age structure، social changes led to an increase in the youth group.

As for the marital structure، the percentage of married people comes in the first place، then singles and (widowed، divorced، separated). Regarding the size of the family، the small family is the prominent feature in the study area، and it is less than its counterpart in the city of Sulaymaniyah، as for the educational structure، it appears to be increasing the percentage of degree holders among heads of families and their wives in the study area.
