Description:
Riyadh presents critical theoretical insights, personal observations, and serendipitous encounters to deftly demonstrate how the city thrives through the actions of its people. It is a vision of an urbanity where both the spectacular and the everyday co-exist, not just dedicated to the few, but one that serves the many.
Review Quotes:
'Like Elsheshtawy's previous work, his methodological prowess is noteworthy ... the presentation of evidence remains foundational [and] the plethora of images help readers visualize the city he describes, a city that many will likely never see.'
-Andrew Gardner, Built Environment 47.4
