Cairo, Baghdad, Algiers and Dubai cannot be easily lumped
together as a single group. Cities in the Arab world are too
diverse and hybrid, ranging from those rich in tradition, to
'forgotten cities, to newly emerging Gulf cities.
The authors here, Arab scholars and architects local to the cities
they describe, provide an authentic voice with an understanding no
outsider could achieve. They explore issues of identity, hybridity,
colonization and globalization in the context of the struggles and
solutions offered by each city from the late nineteenth century to
the present day. Their focus is on how the built environment has
changed over time and under different influences.
