Building Migrant Cities in the Gulf

Unveiling the multiplicity of factors producing urbanism in the fast-growing region of the Gulf, this book provides an in-depth overview of housing and migration dynamics in major Gulf cities. It shows that a top-down approach devised to control urban development patterns is a crucial element in understanding both migration and housing dynamics in Gulf States. The book thoroughly examines the role of governance, from initiating a development vision, to reorganizing decision-making frameworks, and to implementing distinctive strategies. It takes a considered approach to and an objective examination of how investor-driven patterns, emerging new economic sectors, and demographic transformations have impacted the demand and supply as well as the specific characteristics of housing in the Gulf. The direct interactions between inhabitants and their home environments are also explored by demonstrating the divergent living standards and new lifestyle tendencies and their manifestations in the overall urban environment of these migrant cities.
