Summary Defines and explains the historical environment that determined the significance and design of Oman's capital Muscat, its twin city Matrah, and their environs prior to 1970. This book also examines how the development of the Muscat conurbation proceeded largely without any consideration of the impact on Muscat's tangible or remembered history
