Kuwait Transformed: A History of Oil and Urban Life

Kuwait Transformed is a groundbreaking book that uncovers the hidden truths behind Kuwait City's transformation from a traditional town to a modern city.

Through a detailed analysis of the urban landscape, patterns of everyday life, and social behaviors, Farah Al-Nakib reveals how decades of urban planning, suburbanization, and privatization have eroded an open, tolerant society and given rise to insularity, xenophobia, and divisiveness.

This book is a call to action for the restoration of the city that modern planning eliminated, but not just a nostalgic longing for the past.

It's a claim for the "right to the city" - the right of all inhabitants to shape and use the spaces of their city to meet their own needs and desires.

Don't miss out on this thought-provoking and insightful read that will change the way you see Kuwait City forever!
