Overview
Cities in the Arab world are too diverse and hybrid to be lumped together as a single, arbitrary group. Rather they make up the 'urban kaleidoscope' of the title, and the diversity of the six case-study cities here supports that contention. The authors, Arab scholars and architects local to the cities they describe, provide an authentic voice with an understanding no outsider could achieve.
