East Jerusalem

There are some 25 Palestinian neighbourhoods in East Jerusalem.

These neighbourhoods suffer from severe neglect and planning constraints.

At the heart of the planning problems faced by the residents of these

neighbourhood, is the lack of suitable, up-to-date local plans with sufficient

land and zoning provisions to meet their current and future housing needs.

The absence of such plans is the root cause of the vast numbers

of demolition orders and home demolitions which plague these

neighbourhoods. In addition, all the Palestinian neighbourhoods suffer

from a lack of basic infrastructure and services such as schools, roads,

sewage and waste disposal systems, and recreational areas.

The project deals with the absence of local plans in Jabel Mucaber,

suggesting alternative solutions that would avoid damage and discrimination

caused by the ring road planned route, to East Jerusalem residents.
