Presenting the current debate about cities in the Middle East from
Sana'a, Beirut and Jerusalem to Cairo, Marrakesh and Gaza, the book
explores urban planning and policy, migration, gender and identity
as well as politics and economics of urban settings in the region.
This handbook moves beyond essentialist and reductive analyses of
identity, urban politics, planning, and development in cities in
the Middle East, and instead offers critical engagement with both
historical and contemporary urban processes in the region.
Approaching "Cities" as multi-dimensional sites, products of
political processes, knowledge production and exchange, and local
and global visions as well as spatial artefacts. Importantly, in
the different case studies and theoretical approaches, there is no
attempt to idealise urban politics, planning, and everyday life in
the Middle East -- which (as with many other cities elsewhere) are
also situations of contestation and violence -- but rather to
highlight how cities in the region, and especially those which are
understudied, revolve around issues of housing, infrastructure,
participation and identity, amongst other concerns. Analysing a
variety of cities in the Middle East, the book is a significant
contribution to Middle East Studies. It is an essential resource
for students and academics interested in Geography, Regional and
Urban Studies of the Middle East.
