WHY ARAB CITIES MATTER
Out now Why Arab Cities Matter Parts 1, 2, & 3 by Yasser Elsheshtawy, Adjunct Professor of Architecture at Columbia University, New York and Non-Resident Fellow at the Arab Gulf States Institute, Washington, DC.
As Yasser Elsheshtawy writes in the first of his three blogs "Arab cities are more than skylines and statistics; they are shaped by memory, rupture, hope, and reinvention". Following the path of his new book Arab Modernism(s): Cities, History, and Culture, his blogs trace the evolution of modernism in Arab cities. All three blogs are available for download (links below).
