传统的阿拉伯伊斯兰都市主义几十年来一直被忽视，阿拉伯建筑师不愿复兴传统特色，他们正在顺应新都市主义运动。19世纪末20世纪初以来，阿拉伯大城市的风貌明显西化，历史悠久的阿拉伯城市从传统的西方城市化向现代西方城市化转变导致伊斯兰文化认同的丧失，诸多因素导致了阿拉伯城市的转变。这些城市的城市结构，包括社会、经济、立法和功能，通过引入新的建筑和城市形式导致当地身份的丧失。本文将重点研究古老的伊斯兰开罗，Khedivate Cairo 和 The New Administrative Capital (NAC) 将使用比较分析方法来分析城市结构发生的变化以达到研究目的，并知道为什么阿拉伯伊斯兰城市的传统城市化被忽视了？并展示其他阿拉伯城市，如卡塔尔的多哈和阿联酋的马斯达尔，如何通过使用当代诠释趋势来克服同样的问题。
