Sulaimaniyah as the capital city of culture depend on oil revenue for its economy. Oil is not sustainable, and it will cease to exist after 50 years according to many researches done. This research argues that sulaimaniyah has the capacity of becoming a creative city, but political issues and functionality of the city prevents cultural improvement and this issue negatively effects the creative economy. In sulaimaniyah there are many successful creative businesses that help the economy of the city and that opens the markets in their field of work. This research has been done to prove that sulaimaniyah has conflict in creative sectors but with a master plan, the city can fix its current economic problems by focusing on creative sectors and by building new cultural projects in the city rather than the focusing on the government to boost its economy.
