Khartoum: A Story of Ametropolis
This book presents a comprehensive historical and analytical account of the city of Khartoum, examining its emergence, growth, and transformation into a unique “ametropolis.” Dr. Abdel Aziz Khalid traces the origins of Khartoum from its early settlement stages through its development during the Turco-Egyptian administration, the Mahdist period, and the Anglo-Egyptian era. The study explores the city’s political and administrative roles, its cultural diversity, and the influence of migration, trade, and colonialism on its social fabric. By analyzing urban planning, architecture, and spatial organization, the author highlights how Khartoum evolved into a major metropolitan hub that reflects both African and Arab identities. The book also discusses contemporary challenges such as rapid population growth, socio-economic disparities, and the pressures of modernization. Through historical narratives, maps, and analytical commentary, this work offers valuable insight into the cultural, geographic, and political significance of Khartoum. It serves as a key reference for readers interested in Sudanese history, urban studies, and African cities.
