Urban Planning in North Africa



 
Reviews
 
’This volume is the first to survey the urban planning practices and policies of the northern African subcontinent, from Portuguese and Ottoman times to post-independence. Rather than attempting to discern homogeneity and continuity in the planning experiences across this vast region over so many centuries, the contributing authors discuss the varied ways in which these cities have been built. What emerges from these pages is an understanding of how local, colonial, national and international actors have shaped North Africa’s cities.’ Eric Ross, Al Akhawayn University, Morocco
 
’In times of increased interest in North Africa, this book offers variegated insights into the history and present tendencies of urban planning in the region. Nunes Silva presents a diverse and stimulating collection of articles that offer overview perspectives and original case-studies and will enrich ongoing discussions among scholars and planning professionals.’ Vittoria Capresi, Vienna University of Technology, Austria
