| Résumé: | In the first part of this paper the author attempts to deconstruct Orientalist thinking about the Islamic city by showing not only that the idea itself was "created" on the basis of too few cases but, even worse, was a model of outcomers rather than one of processes. In part II a somewhat different, and more dynamic and analytical model is built up. The article ends with a brief discussion of whether and in what ways it would be feasable or desirable to build contemporary cities on Islamic principles. (DÜI-Hns) |
