Water exists on both the north and south ends of the city, allowing all households to have a plentiful supply, which was quite uncommon during this time. The city of Baghdad quickly became so large that it had to be divided into three judicial districts: Madinat al-Mansur (the Round City), al-Sharqiyya (<a href="/wiki/Karkh" title="Karkh">al-Karkh</a>) and Askar al-Mahdi (on the West Bank).<a href="#cite_note-33">[31]</a> Al-Mansur also planned out al-Karkh district so that he could separate the markets from the Round City in order to keep the turbulent populace away from the Round City to ensure that the gates would not be open at night for markets. Over time, the markets became diverse and a home to merchants and craftsmen. Officials with the title of “Muhtasib” were hired to look after markets to prevent cheating and check the weighs and measures of stocks.<a href="#cite_note-34">[32]</a> Baghdad eclipsed Ctesiphon, the capital of the Sassanians, which was located some 30 km (19 mi) to the southeast.

The inner city connecting them was designed as a circle about 2 km (1.2 mi) in diameter, leading it to be known as the "Round City". The original design shows a single ring of residential and commercial structures along the inside of the city walls, but the final construction added another ring inside the first.<a href="#cite_note-ox-39">[37]</a> Within the city there were many parks, gardens, villas, and promenades.<a href="#cite_note-40">[38]</a> There was a large sanitation department, many fountains and public baths, and unlike contemporary <a href="/wiki/Europe" title="Europe">European</a> cities at the time, streets were frequently washed free of debris and trash.<a href="#cite_note-41">[39]</a> In fact, by the time of Harun al-Rashid, Baghdad had a few thousand <a href="/wiki/Turkish_bath" class="mw-redirect" title="Turkish bath">hammams</a>.

Moreover, entry fees were usually so low that almost everyone could afford them.<a href="#cite_note-Bobrick_2012_67-42">[40]</a> In the center of the city lay the <a href="/wiki/Mosque" title="Mosque">mosque</a>, as well as headquarters for guards.

The circular design of the city was a direct reflection of the traditional Near Eastern <a href="/wiki/Urban_planning" title="Urban planning">urban design</a>. The Sasanian city of <a href="/wiki/Firuzabad,_Fars" title="Firuzabad, Fars">Gur</a> in <a href="/wiki/Fars_Province" class="mw-redirect" title="Fars Province">Fars</a>, built 500 years before Baghdad, is nearly identical in its general circular design, radiating avenues, and the government buildings and temples at the center of the city. Much earlier, circular cities had existed in the Syro-Mesopotamian heartland, one of the better-known examples being <a href="/wiki/Mari,_Syria" title="Mari, Syria">Mari</a>, while <a href="/wiki/Tell_Chuera" title="Tell Chuera">Tell Chuera</a> and <a href="/wiki/Al-Rawda_(tell)" title="Al-Rawda (tell)">Tell al-Rawda</a> also provide examples of this type of urban planning existing in bronze age <a href="/wiki/Syria_(region)" title="Syria (region)">Syria</a>.

Baghdad was a hectic city during the day and had many attractions at night. There were cabarets and taverns, halls for backgammon and chess, live plays, concerts, and acrobats. On street corners, storytellers engaged crowds with tales such as those later told in Arabian Nights.<a href="#cite_note-Bobrick_2012_67-42">[40]</a> Storytelling became a profession called "<a href="/wiki/Al-Qaskhun" title="Al-Qaskhun">al-Qaskhun</a>" which survived until the modern era.<a href="#cite_note-43">[41]</a><figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Niebuhr1778bd2_Baghdad.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/13/Niebuhr1778bd2_Baghdad.jpg/220px-Niebuhr1778bd2_Baghdad.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="145" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/13/Niebuhr1778bd2_Baghdad.jpg/330px-Niebuhr1778bd2_Baghdad.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/13/Niebuhr1778bd2_Baghdad.jpg/440px-Niebuhr1778bd2_Baghdad.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2645" data-file-height="1741" /></a><figcaption>Contemporary sketch of Baghdad published by <a href="/wiki/Carsten_Niebuhr" title="Carsten Niebuhr">Carsten Niebuhr</a> in 1778</figcaption></figure> The four surrounding walls of Baghdad were named <a href="/wiki/Kufa" title="Kufa">Kufa</a>, <a href="/wiki/Basra" title="Basra">Basra</a>, <a href="/wiki/Greater_Khorasan" title="Greater Khorasan">Khurasan</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Syria" title="Syria">Syria</a>; named because <a href="/wiki/Gates_of_Baghdad" title="Gates of Baghdad">their gates</a> pointed in the directions of these destinations.

Many of the Abbasid caliphs were patrons of learning and enjoyed collecting both ancient and contemporary literature. Although some of the princes of the previous Umayyad dynasty had begun to gather and translate Greek scientific literature, the Abbasids were the first to foster Greek learning on a large scale. Many of these libraries were private collections intended only for the use of the owners and their immediate friends, but the libraries of the caliphs and other officials soon took on a public or a semi-public character.<a href="#cite_note-mackensen-63">[61]</a> Four great libraries were established in Baghdad during this period. The earliest was that of the famous <a href="/wiki/Al-Ma%27mun" title="Al-Ma'mun">Al-Ma'mun</a>, who was caliph from 813 to 833. Another was established by <a href="/wiki/Sabur_ibn_Ardashir" title="Sabur ibn Ardashir">Sabur ibn Ardashir</a> in 991 or 993 for the literary men and scholars who frequented his academy.<a href="#cite_note-mackensen-63">[61]</a> This second library was plundered and burned by the Seljuks only seventy years after it was established. This was a good example of the sort of library built up out of the needs and interests of a literary society.<a href="#cite_note-mackensen-63">[61]</a> The last two were examples of madrasa or theological college libraries.

Once all 88 (later increased to 89) neighborhood councils were in place, each neighborhood council elected representatives from among their members to serve on one of the city's nine district councils. The number of neighborhood representatives on a district council is based upon the neighborhood's population. The next step was to have each of the nine district councils elect representatives from their membership to serve on the 37 member Baghdad City Council. This three tier system of local government connected the people of Baghdad to the central government through their representatives from the neighborhood, through the district, and up to the city council. The same process was used to provide representative councils for the other communities in Baghdad Province outside of the city itself. There, local councils were elected from 20 neighborhoods (Nahia) and these councils elected representatives from their members to serve on six district councils (Qada). As within the city, the district councils then elected representatives from among their members to serve on the 35 member Baghdad Regional Council. The first step in the establishment of the system of local government for Baghdad Province was the election of the Baghdad Provincial Council. As before, the representatives to the Provincial Council were elected by their peers from the lower councils in numbers proportional to the population of the districts they represent. The 41 member Provincial Council took office in February 2004 and served until national elections held in January 2005, when a new Provincial Council was elected. This system of 127 separate councils may seem overly cumbersome; however, Baghdad Province is home to approximately seven million people. At the lowest level, the neighborhood councils, each council represents an average of 75,000 people. The nine District Advisory Councils (DAC) are as follows:<a href="#cite_note-:4-117">[115]</a> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Adhamiyah" title="Adhamiyah">Adhamiyah</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Karkh" title="Karkh">Karkh</a> (<a href="/wiki/Green_Zone" title="Green Zone">Green Zone</a>)<a href="#cite_note-118">[116]</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Karrada" title="Karrada">Karrada</a><a href="#cite_note-119">[117]</a><a href="#cite_note-120">[118]</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Kadhimiya" title="Kadhimiya">Kadhimiya</a><a href="#cite_note-121">[119]</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Mansour_district" title="Mansour district">Mansour</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Sadr_City" title="Sadr City">Sadr City</a> (Thawra)<a href="#cite_note-122">[120]</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Al_Rashid,_Baghdad" class="mw-redirect" title="Al Rashid, Baghdad">Al Rashid</a><a href="#cite_note-123">[121]</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Al-Rusafa,_Iraq" title="Al-Rusafa, Iraq">Rusafa</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/New_Baghdad" title="New Baghdad">New Baghdad</a> (Tisaa Nissan) (9 April)<a href="#cite_note-124">[122]</a></li></ul> The nine districts are subdivided into 89 smaller neighborhoods which may make up sectors of any of the districts above.
