Urban Planning and Its Impact on the City of Hebron, Palestine

Hebron, one of the world's oldest cities with over 5,000 years of history, faces severe urban planning challenges due to rapid development and external occupation. The study highlights that Hebron lacks effective structural plans, leading to uncontrolled land use and loss of cultural heritage. Unlike some ancient Arab cities like Al-Basra, which maintained sustainable environmental standards, Hebron struggles with global obstacles hindering its planning potential. The research emphasizes the need for comprehensive urban planning to preserve Hebron's history, resources, and sectors while addressing the complexities imposed by Israeli occupation.
