Has globalization replaced colonization as a threat to the heritage and identity of the Middle East City of the twenty-first century? How did colonial influences change the urban form of the Arab capitals? And is today’s hybridization of architectural and urban discourse affecting the development of the cities, their spatial planning and design?
These are just some of the questions addressed by Yasser Elsheshtawy and his contributors using case study material for a diverse range of cities in the Arab world, included Algiers, Lake Tunis, Cairo, Khartoum, Baghdad, Sana’a and Dubai
