Town and Country in the Middle East provides a thorough and detailed analysis of the economic, political, and geographic factors that produced distinct patterns of urban growth in Egypt and Iran. As such, it will be of interest to students and scholars beyond the field of urban studies, while providing urbanologists with a valuable resource. The work is a model of the comparative method, demonstrating that a detailed knowledge of specific cases under study can produce a solid contribution to theory building.
