Title

FORMATION OF THE CONCEPT OF “ISLAMIC CITY”

Pages

  35-46

Abstract

 The urban form of Middle Eastern and North African cities was scientifically studied in the Europe for first time in the early decades of 20th century. The French Orientalists were the first authors who applied the term “Islamic city” and categorized these cities into a specific group. Since then a series of manuscripts, influenced by former ideas, have been emerged which try to deal with the urban morphology of the “Islamic Cities”. Recently, a group of scholars has tried to propose new ideas in this regard. As this chain of ideas makes the main body of the research in the western and international scope on the theme of “Islamic City”, it is necessary to review it as a sequence of related ideas and highlight the problems and clichés hidden in them.Reviewing the history of formation and course of change of the concept and term of Islamic cities, this article is an attempt to discuss and emphasize on the formation, time of emergence of these clichés, their authors, criticisms on those views by today’s theoreticians of Islamic cities, the validity of their alternative methods and the abilities of studying the complexities of these types of cities. So, for this purpose, the theories on urban form of “Islamic cities” grounded by western authors are dealt with in three major groups entitled as follows: 1) emergence of the CONCEPT OF “ISLAMIC CITY” (1900s-1950s), 2) revisionist ideas (1950s-1980s), and 3) pioneer theories.It is intended to show how specific pre-assumptions have overshadowed their descriptions and how today's clichés of this area of studies have roots in primary readings, which were broadly under the influence of urban theories prevailing at their own age in Europe.
