Re-Conceptualizing Boundaries:
Urban Design in the Arab World
MAY 3-4
City Debates 2012 takes on four aspects of urban design thinking in the Arab world: the regional, the holistic, the operational, and the visionary. Through an understanding of its geographic and cultural particularities, the conference explores how the Arab World becomes a prime territory for questioning urban design as a discipline in flux, due to the abundance of sites of globalization, sites of worship, sites of conflict, and sites of contestation.
