The State of Arab Cities Report 2012 is the first report in the UN-Habitat series on the state of cities to focus on the Arab world. It presents a collective picture of urban conditions and trends in each of four Arab regions (Maghreb, Mashreq, Gulf Cooperative Council (GCC) and Southern Tier), and provides a discussion of the similarities, differences and linkages between these countries in the context of a larger Arab region. This report complements the State of the World Cities 2010/11 report, as well as the chapter on North Africa in the State of African Cities 2008 and 2010 reports. It is particularly relevant and timely to review urbanization issues in the Arab region given the events of 2011.
