The Middle East and North Africa region is undergoing a transformation, including significant growth in the youth population and an urbanization trend that will see a very large number of people move to key cities. The region’s population is increasingly living in larger urban centres, with 31% of people living in the biggest 30 cities. This number will almost certainly continue to rise, as more rural dwellers move into urban areas and new cities emerge. As political dynamics in the region change, influenced by socio-economic shifts and global tensions, it is inevitable that economic centres will also change.

This presentation aims at investigate the future development of Palestinian cities, searching the appropriate or suitable pattern of development. In addition, it determines planning instruments and tools to overcome current development problems and constraints.
