The architecture of dispossession
This paper interrogates and problematizes the intimate role of architecture in the dispossession and displacement of people. It explores the case of Ayn Hawd, a dispossessed Palestinian village that was transformed into an Israeli Artists colony in 1951. It found that architecture is deeply involved in executing, facilitating, legitimizing, and aestheticizing the violent act of dispossessing people. I theorize this as architecture of dispossessio…

The coevolution between the status of groups in planning London and the development of the British constitutional rights
This paper investigates the coevolution between the development of British constitutional rights and the status of social and minority groups in planning London since its first post-WWII comprehensive plan. The study employed a historical document analysis by scrutinizing major London urban plans, pertinent British legislation, and constitutional rights enactments to uncover the evolution of urban planning amid a changing rights-based constitutio…
The digital power of the tower
Residential large urban developments are the dominant mode of housing development in many cities around the world. They introduce new technologies to the residential setting that reshape the dwelling experience. Using digital ethnography and in-depth interviews with residents of three residential large urban developments at the center of Israel, this paper portrays how the digital dimension is embedded in and reshapes the performance and experien…

The increasing emission divide between cities of the Global North and Global South
The emission divide between large developed and developing cities is increasing, making it unlikely that the Paris Agreement will be met. Herein, we examine how the 424 largest cities globally, each with one million or more residents, contribute to the global emissions gap and examine the increasing emission divide between developed and developing cities. We find that 302 cities lack emissions data, and the overall emission rate has been increasi…
Urban space of recognition
This paper examines urban design from the socio-political concept of recognition and formulates a framework of urban space of recognition. It aims to illuminate principles of urban design that enhance the recognition of misrecognized groups in public space. Based on an analysis of a public space shared by Arabs and Jews in the mixed city of Haifa, Israel, it proposes that the framework of urban space of recognition rests upon the visual display o…
The failure of urban forms under the Covid-19 epidemic
The outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic and the resulting mandatory socio-spatial practices trigger and pose some critical questions on the prevailing conventions of spatial planning approaches and the ways they shape our cities Most salient in this regard, though not exclusive, are the dominant planning approaches and movements of recent decades, such as New Urbanism and the various sustainability-related spatial-planning paradigms These approa…
Theorizing urban social spaces and their interrelations
This paper proposes a new theoretical perspective for understanding urban social spaces and their interrelations. In an effort to understand these multifaceted, complex relations, an inquiry committed to a flat ontology was deployed. Accordingly, we draw our theorization on the Lacanian ontological lack, Harman’s object-oriented ontology, and Laclau and Mouffe’s discursivity of social reality. Thus, we propose that urban social spaces are discurs…
Planning by Scale
This article suggests that the domination of the scale of the neighborhood in planning distorts our understanding of urban phenomena and that a multiscalar approach is required. It examines the association of perceived scales with residential satisfaction. The findings suggest that the neighborhood is not the dominant scale with which people perceive and define their residential area, rather they consider smaller than the neighborhood scales. Mor…
Insurgent informality
This article addresses the political and spatial agenda of the people of informalities. It conceptualizes insurgent informality as a discursive social reality, which is based on the struggle between the state hegemonic discourse regarding informal spaces and modes of space production and the countering-hegemonic discourse of communities. Based on empirical case, this paper interrogates the discourses of Israel and the its Arab communities regardi…
Social Sustainability
There is a lack of theoretical and empirical studies regarding social sustainability. The literature reveals that the “social” was integrated late into debates on sustainable development. This paper aims to fill this gap and proposes a new conceptual framework of social sustainability. We suggest that risk is a constitutive concept of sustainability and that the contemporary conditions of risk resulting primarily from climate change and its ensui…
Conceptualizing urban ontological security
Sidestepping Physical Determinism in Planning
The promotion of sense of community has been a significant element of the spatial planning agenda of planners in recent years. This paper aims to explore the combined influence of typological characteristics of urban neighborhoods, as well as, social and cultural components. This empirical study was conducted in Beer Sheva, the largest city in southern Israel. This paper concludes that in addition to typological components, sociocultural percepti…
The Risk City
The right to space production and the right to necessity
The major problem with theories of the right to the city is that they inherently assume that states are the sole provider of rights and that, in liberal–democratic countries, legal rights are conceptually universal and apply to all individuals equally. I challenge these assumptions and maintain that in some situations, when the state and its governing apparatus violate or deny the very basic rights of a social or ethnic collective, the group itse…

The politics of state planning in achieving geopolitical ends
The Palestinian–Israeli conflict involves three major issues: Palestinian refugees, Jerusalem and borderissues. This article argues that public planning in Israel has been striving dramatically to influence thisconflict in order to achieve geopolitical ends. It focuses on the Jerusalem issue and analyses the role ofplanning institutions and planners in transforming the city for geopolitical ends. Jerusalem is a deeplydivided city and has been seg…

Sustainable Urban Forms
This article identifies sustainable urban forms and their design concepts. In addition, it addresses the question of whether certain urban forms contribute more than others to sustainability. A thematic analysis has been used to coop with the vast body of sustainable development and environmental planning literature. The analysis identifies seven design concepts related to sustainable urban forms: compactness, sustainable transport, density, mixe…
Building a Conceptual Framework
In this paper the author proposes a new qualitative method for building conceptual frameworks for phenomena that are linked to multidisciplinary bodies of knowledge. First, he redefines the key terms of concept, conceptual framework, and conceptual framework analysis. Concept has some components that define it. A conceptual framework is defined as a network or a 'plane' of linked concepts. Conceptual framework analysis offers a procedure of theor…

Space of Risk
This article defines a new concept, ‘Space of risk’, as a lived space that has low levels of trust among different urban groups; where people feel vulnerable and defenseless against terrorizing, urban clashes and riots. Based on a qualitative study, the article examines this concept in the city of Nazareth, which has been in turmoil since the introduction of a plan for a plaza. The article concludes that the reasons that may strongly contribute t…
