Author: Sultan Sooud Al Qassemi, Todd Reisz (eds.)An oil discovery in 1972 positioned Sharjah as one of the world’s final cities shaped by transformative fortune, enticing an inter national cast of experts to create a bold, new metropolis. In the footsteps of Kuwait, Riyadh, and Dubai, Sharjah faced a metamorphosis: either one that repeated the past’s mistakes or one that reimagined how wealth can build a city. This title reveals how modern architecture unfurled across the United Arab Emirates’ third-largest city.ISBN 9783035622768.
