URBANIZATION WORKSHOP
The conference will also include a pioneering, invitation-only
workshop that will bring scholars of Arab
urbanization together to evaluate an emerging field. Key
findings will be presented during the
urbanization panel on April 9.
Urbanism in the Middle East: A Search for New Paradigms
Workshop Organizer: Hussam Salama, Dubai Initiative
This workshop brings together prominent scholars, experts, and
professionals in order to discuss the
challenges facing the contemporary urban condition in Middle
Eastern cities. We aim to emphasize the
role of urbanization in shaping the future of the Middle East
and its capacity to deal with the new
regional and global order. The workshop has two objectives:
1. Analyzing the policies, measures, and conceptions that shape
the current trends of urban
development in the region
2. Exploring and conceptualizing new possible design and
planning paradigms that can deal withpersisting urban challenges
and make the best use of existing opportunities
