While focusing on the architectural and planning aspects of Doha's intensive urbanization,
this first comprehensive examination of the city sets this within the socio-political
and economic context of the wider Arabian Peninsula. 'Demystifying Doha - On Architecture
and Urbanism in an Emerging City' features a comprehensive discussion on contemporary
architecture and urbanism of Doha as an emerging regional metropolis. It provides
a critical analysis of the evolution of architecture and urbanism as products of the
contemporary global condition. Issues that pertain to emerging service hubs, decentralised
urban governance, integrated urban development strategies, image-making practices,
urban identity, the dialectic relations between the city and its society and sustainable
urbanism are all examined to elucidate the urban evolution and the contemporary condition
of Doha
