Palestine Urban Geography

"Palestine Urban Geography" offers a comprehensive analysis of the geographical and spatial changes in Palestine since the 19th century. The book examines the impacts of five different ruling regimes – the Ottoman Empire, the British Mandate, Jordanian rule, Israeli occupation, and the Palestinian Authority – on the physical and social structure of the region. It highlights how these historical influences have shaped the distribution and arrangement of settlements. The content is divided into five main sections that address interrelated themes without strictly adhering to thematic or chronological guidelines. This academic book is primarily aimed at students of Palestine's geopolitics and the Arab-Israeli conflict, but it also provides valuable insights into the complex geography of the region for a broader audience.
