Description
This heavily illustrated book describes RIWAQ’s experiences in the village rehabilitation in Palestine. The publication is the collective effort of fourteen scholars and practitioners and comprises two parts: The Regeneration of Rural Palestine consists of six essays addressing the conceptual and theoretical aspects of rehabilitation; and Village Generation: Selected Case Studies describes and analyzes six different case studies of rehabilitation implemented by RIWAQ in the 50 Village Rehabilitation Project. Reclaiming Spaces also reflects how the specificity of each village imposed itself on the nature of interventions and the end result of the rehabilitation project.
