About this book

Published in Association with the Institute for the Study of Muslim Civilisations

A collection of over 200 abstracts of research publications on cities, translated into three languages

From Tehran in Iran to Istanbul in Turkey, and from Herat in Afghanistan to Khartoum in Sudan, the rich diversity of the Muslim world is strikingly expressed through its myriad of cities. This reference volume presents over 200 abstracts of scholarship examining cities as both built and lived environments. They deal with the important subjects such as urban growth in the last 50 years, infrastructure and the environment and migration from rural areas. The historical periods covered span from the Umayyad Caliphate to the present day.

Each abstract is presented in English, Arabic and Turkish, opening up this body of scholarship to new audiences. These abstracts demonstrate how much cities have varied between countries and over time.
