“To me, the Arab Urbanism Magazine is an opportunity for discussion and for opening up questions. What is urban? And what is Arab urbanism? These might seem like intuitive questions, but they are far from it. The magazine is thus an opportunity to take up these questions, among others, from different theoretical standpoints, and through diverse researches that touch upon our contemporary reality and its historical roots. We live in a moment of deep change, with rising and falling identities, built and destroyed borders, and a shifting social class formation. It is critical to build a space to investigate this reality from the perspective of the urban built environment and influence on it.”
