| Summary: | The first volume in a series dedicated to cities and urban processes in West Asia and Egypt, this collection of essays offers an exploration of West Asian history and society as seen through the lens of urbanization. Drawing together scholarship from historians, architectural historians, and archaeologists, the essays gathered here examine the development of cities and urban societies in the region from the Sasanian and early Islamic periods up to modern times. The up-to-date and advanced analyses presented within the volume explore the societies that inhabited these urban landscapes and shed light on noteworthy cities of West Asia and its surroundings, including Egypt, the Caucasus, Afghanistan, and Central Asia. Through this approach, the authors examine not just the shapes, formations, and characteristics of urban centres, but also the economic and social structures that developed within them and gave shape to their communities. |
