Shaping Jerusalem: Spatial planning, politics and the conflict
focuses on a hidden facet of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; the
relentless reshaping of the Holy City by the Israeli authorities
through urban policies, spatial plans, infrastructural and
architectural projects, land use and building regulations. From a
political point of view, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict may
appear to be at an impasse; however, it is precisely by looking at
the city's physical space that one can perceive that a war of
cement and stone is under way. Many books have been written on the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict over Jerusalem; some of them have
focused on the urban fabric; Shaping Jerusalem uniquely discusses
the role of Israeli spatial actions within the conflict. It argues
that Israel's main political objective - control over the whole
city - is ordinarily and silently pursued through physical devices
which permanently modify the territory and the urban fabric.
Relying on strong empirical evidence and data through the analysis
of statistical data, official policies, urban projects, and laws,
author Francesco Chiodelli substantiates the political discussion
with facts and figures about the current territorial situation of
the city, and about the Israeli policies implemented in the city in
the past six decades.
