World Heritage, Urban Design and Tourism
Three Cities in the Middle East
«’In this book, Luna Khirfan does an admirable job of connecting three distinct fields which have often been studied separately; World Heritage Studies, Tourism Studies, and Urban Design Research. By focusing on a few, but sometimes less explored, Middle Eastern cities like Acre and al-Salt, in addition to the well-researched Aleppo, she interrogates the complexities and conflicts involved in the interweaving of tourist development policies with the rehabilitation of historic sites through contemporary urban design practices.’ Nezar AlSayyad, University of California, Berkeley, USA»
