The focus of this first part of the research is the past of urbanism in the coastal region, aiming to propose a future sustainable urbanization, both environmentally and socio- economically. A study of urbanization patterns of the past was conducted for eight coastal cities and two associated hinterland cities in eight countries surrounding the Gulf. Urban and regional histories were summarized to understand the complex relationships that generated long-lasting urban forms and efficient building designs.Sustainable urban developmentPersian Gulf RegionEconomic developmentEnvironmental aspectsPersian Gulf RegionMiddle EastPersian Gulf RegionMiddle EastPersian Gulf StatesGulf Regionsustainable urbanismMsheireb PropertiesSustainable urban developmentEconomic developmentEnvironmental aspects338.953607Pollalis Spiro N.1954-1100856Ardalan NaderHarvard University.Graduate School of Design,Qatar Foundation,UkMaJRUBOOK9910425154203321Gulf Sustainable Urbanism2844696UNINA
