    RIYADH
    YASSER ELSHESHTAWY
    Riyadh has set its sights on becoming a world city befitting the twenty-first century. To that end it has embarked on a massive construction drive evidenced in the proliferation of proposals for high-end districts, giga-developments and elaborate infrastructures.

    ARAB MODERNISM(S)
    YASSER ELSHESHTAWY
