Una guerra di pietra e cemento: il caso del Jerusalem Master Plan

This paper analyses the contents of the Jerusalem Master Plan in light of the Israeli-Palestinian confict over Jerusalem. Focus is on the theme of residential construction, the treatment of which is illustrated in relation to the various groups in the population (Arabs and Jews). Generally speaking, the thesis is supported that the master plan could be considered a document substantially consistent with the Israeli strategy of controlling the city through urban policies as practiced since 1967, though it is interesting to point out some elements that run counter to this trend.
