“Emerald City” is a reference to the city of the same name in the story “The Wizard of Oz.” The Emerald City of Oz, where people go expecting their dreams to be fulfilled, only to end up with superficial substitutes and broken dreams.
Kind of sums up Iraq’s Green Zone pretty well, hence the term “Emerald City”.
