Beschreibung

Illustrated wraps superimposing the traditional city gate and newly built Kuwait Towers 15x22cm. Printed at the Times Press, Kuwait. 162, (2)pp Arabic text including b/w photos, maps and charts. Good with creasing to wraps, inscription to title page, and some ink underlining in text. This looks into the nature of Kuwait's urban development and factors affecting it including the role of Kuwait Municipality; and an assessment of planning (Jacob Taisi's report, preparations for the Master Plan, the original and amended National and Structural Plan, and comparison). It finds that the very fast rate of development was due to factors outside the planning framework. This related to the exploitation of oil revenues and immigration which took place at a time when Kuwait did not have adequate institutions in place to control it. This happened to such an extent that planning soon became redundant, failing in particular to project immigration and population growth effectively, leading to problems in housing, congestion, etc, which need to be addressed. The maps show the development of Kuwait since the 18th Century, including its districts, the wall and its gates. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 4672
