‘A welcome addition to the growing literature on the politics of the relationship between Islam and the built environment. With its accessible style, this rich book will be of interest to an interdisciplinary audience including both scholars and students.’

‘New Islamic Urbanism offers a lively picture of how society in Jeddah negotiated and understood the private and public spheres through architecture over the last century. Unlike other works within the discourse of the Islamic city, this book considers various social groups, including immigrants, foreign labourers, political dissidents, religious minorities, and members of the gay community. This social inclusion presents a clearer picture of how public and private spaces in Jeddah can be understood.’
