"Castles in the Sand explores the drastic changes in Abu Dhabi's built environment, where entire islands are forested with skyscrapers and billions of dollars in infrastructure are spent on a whim. General readers will find a broad introduction to Abu Dhabi, and architects and planners will gain a firsthand glimpse inside an unprecedented experiment in city-building"
This descriptive narrative is written by an urban planner who worked to modernize Abu Dhabi for the Urban Planning Council of the country of the United Arab Emirates. He gives historical background on the city and the region, with special attention to the building boom between 2009 and 2011. In addition to describing architectural and urban planning issues, he also relates his experience as a Western foreigner in an isolated and unfamiliar culture, offering insight into the people and culture of Abu Dhabi as well as the built environment. B&w photos and maps are included. The book’s readership includes architects, planners, and those who are fascinated by Abu Dhabi and the Middle East.
