Dieser Band umreißt die Entwicklung von acht Städten im Nahen Osten und in Nordafrika: Aleppo, Alexandria, Ankara, Kairo, Casablanca, Dubai, Nouakchott und Shiraz. Osmanische Herrschaft und die französischen oder britischen Kolonialmächte wirkten in diesen Städten auf unterschiedliche Weise und über verschiedene Zeiträume hinweg auf Architektur und Stadtbild ein. Globale Bewegungen wie der Modernismus und der Sozialismus formten die Stadtbilder neu. Anhand von Karten, Skizzen und anderem Bildmaterial wird nachgezeichnet, wie die osmanische Zeit, die Kolonialmächte und die Regierungen nach der Unabhängigkeit diese Städte verändert haben. Klassenunterschiede, informelle Siedlungen und entwertetes bauliches Erbe sind häufige städtische Probleme, mit denen die Städte der MENA-Region auch heute noch konfrontiert sind. <UL> <LI>Konzentriert sich auf die politischen und sozialen Entwicklungen, die die gebaute Umwelt jeder Stadt beeinflussen </LI> <LI>Erörtert alle Arten des baulichen Erbes und Formen der Architektur in den acht Beispielstädten </LI> <LI>Veranschaulicht die städtische Entwicklung durch viele farbige Karten, Skizzen und Diagramme </LI></UL>

This volume outlines the urban development of eight cities in the Middle East and North Africa: Aleppo, Alexandria, Ankara, Cairo, Casablanca, Dubai, Nouakchott, and Shiraz. Ottoman rule and colonial powers, French or British, operated differently and over various time spans in most of these cities to influence architecture and the urban scene. Global movements such as modernism and socialism reshaped the cityscapes of intersecting histories and cultures. Maps, sketches, and other visuals trace the urban outcomes of Ottoman rule, colonial powers, and post-independence governments to show how they altered these cities. Class distinctions, informal settlements, and devalued built heritage are common urban issues that the cities of the MENA region still face today. <UL> <LI> Focuses on political and social developments as they influence each city’s built environment </LI> <LI> Discusses all types of built heritage and forms of architecture in the eight exemplary cities </LI> <LI> Visualizes the urban development through many coloured maps, sketches, and charts </LI></UL>
