Description

Explore the history of a city built from the ground up. Port Sudan: The Evolution Of A Colonial City by Routledge examines the transformation of a site that, in 1904, held nothing more than the tomb of a local holy man. This book details how British officials selected this specific location to construct a modern seaport intended to expand commerce within the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. As a quintessential colonial city, Port Sudan was designed and organized entirely by Europeans. This text explains how the urban center was created without the need to navigate existing indigenous social structures or established urban populations. Instead, the colonial government developed its own municipal services and management regulations from scratch. This historical study provides a clear look at how a major maritime hub was engineered and implemented to serve specific commercial goals during the colonial era.
