In its second instalment, 'Portal 9 blends creative writing, photography and essays with academic perspectives, perceptive journalism and cultural critiques to address the need for conscientious debate about architecture, planning and culture in urban contexts, both in the Middle East and globally. The city square, which has repeatedly witnessed Arab uprisings in recent times, is the focus here. Have the demonstrations affirmed its traditional function, or redefined it? Are we witnessing a resurgence of the square as public space, a physical reality for shared expression? A diverse range of contributors critically address these and other highly topical questions.
