  • Evolution and Changes in the Morphologies of Sudanese Cities Mohamed Babiker Ibrahima* and Omer Abdalla Omerb
    Urban Geography, 2014 Vol. 35, No. 5, 735–756, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/02723638.2014.919798 Evolution and changes in the morphologies of Sudanese cities Mohamed Babiker Ibrahima* and Omer Abdalla Omerb aDepartment of Geography, Hunter College of the City University of New York, New York, NY 10065, USA; bDepartment of Marketing, Entrepreneurship, Hospitality, and Tourism, The University of North Carolina-Greensboro, Greensboro, NC 27412, USA (Received 20 March 2013; accepted 17 March 2014) This article investigates the morphological evolution of Sudanese cities. The study of morphology or urban morphology involves consideration of town planning, building form, and the pattern of land and building utilization. Sudan has a long history of urbanization that contributed to the establishment of an early Sudanese civilization and European-style urban centers that have shaped the morphology of today’s cities. We identify three broad morphologies: indigenous, African-Islamic, and European style (colonial). The ongoing, rapid urbanization of African cities in general and Sudanese cities in particular points to a need to understand the structure of this urbanization. The morphology of cities includes not only physical structure, but the cultural heritage, economic, and historical values on which it is based. Therefore, preservation, redeve- lopment, and urban policy underlying future urban expansion must be based on the nature of cities’ morphologies and development. Keywords: urban morphology; indigenous cities; African-Islamic cities; European- style cities; Sudan Introduction The objective of this study is to investigate the evolving urban morphology of several Sudanese cities. Sudan has a long history of urbanization, beginning at the time of the Meroitic kingdom that flourished in the central part of the country from approximately 300 BCE to 350 CE (Adams, 1977; Shinnie, 1967).

    The Art of Decadence Dar Doukkala he arched wooden doorway that leads you into Dar Doukkala from Tthe busy street of the same name is pleasing, but no-more so than many of the houses in Marrakech Medina, although the stately sweep of the stairway just inside is pretty spiffy, with its white and red tiled treads and vaguely sensual hooping rise of the chrome banister. The internal garden is delightful, with pathways separating the quadrants of palm trees and lush floribunda, but other than the size and the pretty alcoves set in the walls to sit and mull the day away in, it’s akin to what you would expect to find as the centerpiece of many of the best riads. But it’s when you get to the bedrooms that the ‘Oh my giddy aunt!’ effect kicks in, backed up later when you take yourself down to dinner in the long, chi-chi dining room that’s just made for romantic evenings and whispered conversations. It doesn’t take long to realise that this is no ordinary riad, and certainly no ordinary restoration. Many of even the best riads in the ancient quarter have the reputation for bedrooms being a bit pokey, but Dar Doukkala was obviously designed as the riad keeping the hubbub of the Medina streets a grand residence of someone of substance in the at bay. early 19th century because the six bedrooms and It’s been my habit over many years of travelling to two suites are expansive by anyone’s standard.

  • The Archaeology and Heritage of the Sudanese Red Sea Region: Importance, Findings, and Challenges
    The Archaeology and Heritage of the Sudanese Red Sea Region: Importance, Findings, and Challenges AHMED ADAM Head Department of Archaeology - University of Khartoum Director of the Red Sea Project for Archaeological Research Abstract This paper seeks to shed a high light on the archaeological sites discovered in the area of Suakin, Arkaweet, and Sinkat as a part of the project of the department of Archaeology ß university of Khartoum, so, the archaeological sites discovered in this region belong to different periods such as Pre-Historic, Medieval, Islamic, and others are unknown, which means that the region used to link the Red Sea Cultures with those on the central Sudan and Egypt far north and Eretria in the east. Through this study I am also seeking to evaluate the field work (Archaeological and Ethnographic) conducted in the area of Arkaweet and Sinkat town, and Suakin port, then to put a plan for the managing and protecting the archaeologi- cal sites and ethnographic materials. Therefore I will follow or apply a number of approaches in this study such as description, survey analysis of the sites and its contents as well a comparison will be made between the results of the present study with the results of the previous studies in the field of archeology and ethnography conducted on other sites in the Sudanese Red Sea Region. The historical sources will also be compared with the study findings. Keywords Red Sea, Archaeology, Heritage, Sudan, Survey, Suakin 188 1. INTRODUCTION The Red Sea lies in an ideal geographical location between eastern and west- ern seas in general, and between the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean in particular.

  • Chapter 3: an Eco-Systemic Construct of Northern Riverain Sudan
    University of Pretoria etd – Osman, A O S (2004) CHAPTER 3: AN ECO-SYSTEMIC CONSTRUCT OF NORTHERN RIVERAIN SUDAN 3.1 SUB PROBLEM 2 The study context needs to be identified eco-systemically. This needs to be initiated by the articulation of social, political, cultural and religious descriptions and the identification of the recurring themes in the literature of the region. 3.2 HYPOTHESIS 2 It is believed that through the eco-systemically based identification of recurring themes in the literature of/on the region, essential and incidental attributes of the place and culture can be articulated. This can become a tool in interpretation of tangible/ intangible artefacts, spatial interventions, and social practice. 3.3 OUTLINE OF CHAPTER 3 This chapter is initiated by looking at the history of the region. The reasons behind the delimitation of the area of study are articulated and justified. The recurring themes are then expressed through an intensive literature review. The origins of the people are explained and elaborated. The identity of the northern riverain people is established as a political and a religious concept. The northern Sudanese riverain people are thus introduced. 3.4 THE CONTEXT: ITS HISTORY AND ITS VALIDITY AS AN AREA OF STUDY Three main civilizations lived on this land, extending along the Sudanese Nile valley from the present northern border with Egypt to the town of Sennar on the Blue Nile and Kosti on the White Nile: the Kushites, the Meroites and the Funj (refer to Table 3.1). The Kushites had their centres at Kerma and then at Napata.

  • Fès and Its Medina: a Key-Case Study of Architectural Contamination
    Fès and its Medina: a key-case study of architectural contamination Elena DE SANTIS,1 Tiziano INNOCENZI2 (1) School of Specialization in Architectural and Landscape Heritage, University of Rome “La Sapienza”, Rome, Italy Email: [email protected] (2) PDTA Department – Planning, Design and Technology of Architecture, University of Rome “La Sapienza”, Rome, Italy Email: [email protected] Abstract The Fès Medina, UNESCO site, represents today a key case study to acknowledge the contamination of architectural and urban heritage. The Medina is a unique example in the Mediterranean area of an intact Islamic urban centre of large dimensions, characterized by a drift road system and ancestral construction techniques: tadelakt, raw earth, fired bricks, lime mortar. Today the city of Fès grows outside its Medina, with a strong western character: boulevard instead of small-market streets, reinforced concrete instead of Atlas stones. The thrust of modern ville, which began with the French colonialism, is also changing the Medina: the absence of an up-to-date plan for the maintenance and protection of the historic centre and its tangible and intangible heritage, is driving rapid change in the ancient Islamic core, contaminating usual techniques and materials with more western uses. This form of contamination can be considered a form of wealth, when studied and organized. The city is into a seismic area, and the use of innovative materials can improve parts of Medina in abandonment conditions or hydrogeological risks, while maintaining the use of more traditional techniques by respecting historic buildings and the urban form. In conclusion, the proposal for a studied and well- planned contamination between innovative techniques and traditional knowledge can lead to a more modern but not different Medina, and can address necessities of a contemporary society, whose heritage is effectively protected.

  • Egyptian Rule in the Sudan
    SOME SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF TURKO - EGYPTIAN RULE IN THE SUDAN GABRIEL R. WARBURG Between 1821 and 1885 most of the area constituting the present Su- dan came under Turko-Egyptian rule. The annexation of the Sudan to Egypt was undertaken in 1820-1 by Muhammad `Ali, the Ottoman Vali of Egypt, and was completed under his grandson, the Khedive Ismacil, who extended this rule to the Great Lakes in the south and to Bahr al- Ghazal and Darfur in the west. In the history of the Sudan, this period became known as the (first) Turkiyya. The term Turkiyya is not really ar- bitrary since Egypt was itself an Ottoman province, ruled by an Ottoman (Albanian) dynasty. Moreover, most of the high officials and army officers serving in the Sudan were of Ottoman rather than Egyptian origin. Last- ly, though Arabic made considerable headway during the second half of the century in daily administrative usage, the senior officers and off~ cials continued to communicate in Turkish, since their superior- the Khedive - was a Turk and Turkish was the language of the ruling elite. Hence, when the Mahdist revolt errupted in June 1881, its main enemy were the Turks who had oppressed the Sudanese and had - according to the Mahdi - corrupted Islam. a. European Historical and other Writings on N~ neteenth-Century Sudan Until the second half of the twentieth century western views both on Turkish rule in the Sudan as well as on the Mahdiyya, were largely based on the writings of European trades, explorers and soldiers of for- tune.
