Combining urban theory with postcolonial methodology, this book argues that modern Beirut is the outcome of persistent social and intellectual struggles over the production of space. Drawing on several Ottoman government documents, Arabic sources, and European archival material, it traces the urban experience of modernity in the Ottoman Empire.
