Planning Middle Eastern Cities: An Urban Kaleidoscope - Yasser Elsheshtawy Author: Yasser ElsheshtawyCategory: Architecture BooksThis book originated from a desire to articulate a local voice. Many writings on the Middle East are from external observers. While such efforts are commendable they may miss some of the nuances of our region which can only be detected by those who are – on a daily basis – dealing with the problems of the ‘Arab’ street....
