| Summary, etc. |
This richly illustrated and well‑researched book offers a compelling counter‑narrative to Riyadh’s image as a global capital driven by massive development. Focusing on a humanization programme initiated under Mayor Abdulaziz bin Ayyaf, it explores how public spaces, pedestrian infrastructure, and everyday community life shape a resilient, people‑centred urban future. Elsheshtawy combines critical theory, personal observation, and urban insight to show how Riyadh thrives through its inhabitants. |
