From a political point of view, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict may appear to be at an impasse; however, it is precisely by looking at the city's physical space that one can perceive that a war of cement and stone is under way. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany books have been written on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict over Jerusalem; some of them have focused on the urban fabric; Shaping Jerusalem uniquely discusses the role of Israeli spatial actions within the conflict. It argues that Israel's main political objective - control over the whole city - is ordinarily and silently pursued through physical devices which permanently modify the territory and the urban fabric. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRelying on strong empirical evidence and data through the analysis of statistical data, official policies, urban projects, and laws, author Francesco Chiodelli substantiates the political discussion with facts and figures about the current territorial situation of the city, and about the Israeli policies implemented in the city in the past six decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Francesco Chiodelli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138595101\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138595101\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/28\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Francesco Chiodelli","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48113280450815,"sku":"9781138595101","price":65.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a13a2451-0a10-444a-b911-bc87c505d163.jpg?v=1769614059","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shaping-jerusalem-francesco-chiodelli-9781138595101","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
