Urban Development 

The initial data gathering phase of this work has started. This will be the open-source foundation for a much-needed interim spatial plan for Gaza, which has been identified by various stakeholders as an urgent gap. 

Very much building on what has gone before and aligned with other current work by the PA, UN, Rand and the Palestinian private sector, this required framework specifically seeks to address the transitional period (post-conflict year 1 to 10), taking into account the needs of temporary communities and hazard removal in Gaza in ways that will anticipate any conflicts with the location of long-term assets and optimal urbanisation patterns so as to help inform emergency and immediate recovery efforts.
