Description
Abu Dhabi's urban development path has been shaped by its unique history and leadership. This book offers a detailed analysis of the emirate's transformation into a global, sustainable city. Based on archival research, interviews, and spatial mapping, Alamira Reem explores how three successive rulers have approached development, from Sheikh Shakhbut bin Sultan Al Nahyan to Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan. She examines the role of planning consultants, architects, developers, and government agencies in shaping Abu Dhabi's growth. The result is a nuanced understanding of the complex factors that have influenced Abu Dhabi's development, providing valuable lessons for cities worldwide.
