The Mesopotamian king Nebuchadnezzar's homesick wife because she was used to better surroundings and it would feel more like home.There are two equally credible theories about who build the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, they are assumed to be the work either of semilegendary Queen Sammu-ramat (Greek Semiramis), the Assyrian queen who reigned from 810 to 783 BC, or of King Nebuchadrezzar II, the king of the Babylonian Empire, who reigned c. 605 BC - 562 BC. Though there are no compelling arguments about the credibility of any of the assumptions, the hanging Gardens of Babylon are often called the Hanging Gardens of Semiramis.A few words about the first possible builder, Semiramis: Through the centuries the legend of Semiramis attracted not only the attention of Greek historians, but she also was the muse of novelists, poets and other storytellers. Great warrior queens in history have been called the Semiramis of their times. A "gossip" around her name would have made a beautiful yellow press headline - "Semiramis is said to have had a long string of one-night-stands with handsome soldiers". Another "rumor" may become an inspiration for horror film makers - they say that she had each lover killed after a night of passion, so that her power would not be threatened by a man who presumed on their relationship.As for the other supposed builder - King Nebuchadrezzar II (reigned c. 605- c.561 BC), it is said that he built the legendary gardens to console his wife Amytis of Media, because she was homesick for the mountains and greenery of her homeland.
What is was the size of the hanging gardens of Babylon?
According to Wikipedia: The gardens were attributed to the Neo-Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar II, who ruled between 605 and 562 BC. He is reported to have constructed the gardens to please his homesick wife, Amytis of Media, who longed for the plants of her homeland. The gardens were said to have been destroyed by several earthquakes after the 2nd century BC. That would make them roughly 2500 years old, and they would have been destroyed around 2200 years ago. It should be noted, however, that there is some dispute as to whether they ever actually existed. Also from Wikipedia: A recent theory proposes that the Hanging Gardens of Babylon were actually constructed by the Assyrian king Sennacherib (reigned 705 - 681 BC) for his palace at Nineveh. Stephanie Dalley posits that during the intervening centuries the two sites became confused, and the extensive gardens at Sennacherib's palace were attributed to Nebuchadnezzar II's Babylon.

Herodotus was the first author to give a full description of the Hanging Gardens. According to him, the gardens were built by Nebuchadnezzar II to make his wife Amytis happy because she didn't like the Babylonian desert. She had lived in Persia, which had many plants and fountains. It was about 350 feet tall and was covered with trees, flowers, lawns, plants, fountains, pools, and miniature water falls. It had every kind of plant available in the kingdom. It was made of mud brick and stone, a series of terraces, one on top of the other. The plants couldn't survive without water, so they had to pump water from the Euphrates River to flow down through channels to the plants. - Reading Herodotus' description, you'll see that what he described was Babylon itself. If you try to sketch out the city plan as he describes it, it can be done. What's more, it's pretty accurate in relation to archaeological maps. In the plan below, Herodotus' Temple of Zeus Belos is the central and above it is his King's Palace where we'd look for the Hanging Gardens.

Why didn't the mesopotamian area develop as much in architecture in art as the egyptians?
It depends on how you are defining "develop." The hanging gardens of Babylon were built in Mesopotamia, they were one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world. They probably weren't as monolithic as the pyramids, but were probably more complex architecturally than the pyramids which are essentially just artificial mountains, they're dead structures not meant to be used for any practical day to day purpose. The Hanging Gardens were something royalty would visit and use every day, they had terraces and galleries that were described as "theatre-like" by Greek chroniclers. The Hanging Gardens were destroyed by fire, something that isn't going to happen in a structure 10 people ever enter in their lifetime. Beyond that Egyptian architecture, while monolithic, wasn't technically complex. Things like gypsum mortar, concrete, the arch, domes, were not seen until Hellenistic or Persian influences brought them.
