Reviews
"This reference book is a huge contribution that can be consulted by a wide audience of students and researchers from a variety of disciplines, such as urban planning and design, history, architecture, anthropology, Islamic studies, and even politics. [It] provides a strong setting for future comparative studies that lead to generalizations on the morphologies of cities in the Islamic world."
