Today cities of the Arab world are subject to many of the same
problems as other world cities, yet too often they are ignored in
studies of urbanisation.
This collection reveals the contrasts and similarities between
older, traditional Arab cities and the newer oil-stimulated cities
of the Gulf in their search for development and a place in the
world order. The eight cities which form the core of the book a "
Rabat, Amman, Beirut, Kuwait, Manama, Doha, Abu Dhabi and Riyadh a
" provide a unique insight into todaya (TM)s Middle Eastern
city.
