The position of Mosques in Islamic cities and its location design in new cities


Abstract in English

This paper analyzes the position and role of the mosque as a factor in the formation, transformation and development of Muslim–inhabited cities, from many neighborhoods to the entire city, and shows proof linking mosque structure with the structure of a city and of neighborhoods, while having the moral and material dimensions. In this regard, considering a comprehensive view of the mosques in the structure and design of cities and neighborhoods, is not seen as a single element of architecture, but as the role of historical mosques and religious beliefs and changes from a traditional society to a modern one. However, in the form of urban solutions, it is the physical development of the neighborhood, because the mosque has always been an integral part of Muslim–inhabited areas and more than its constituent elements in bringing about change and urban development.
