Book Chapter: Land Governance and Urban Development Under Political Instability Conditions in Palestine

Dr. Samer Raddad, a lecturer and researcher in the Department of Geography and Urban Studies at Al-Quds University, has published a book chapter, “Land Governance and Urban Development Under Political Instability Conditions in Palestine: Challenges and Potentials”. The study has two main objectives: first, to identify the key challenges facing the land governance system in Palestine; and second, to explore how these challenges impact urban development. The research concludes that weak land governance in Palestine has significantly hindered urban development plans, strategies and initiatives. In addition, Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories since 1967 has posed a serious and significant threat to the advancement of the land governance system and the achievement of sustainable urban development. The chapter is published in the book Innovations for Land Management, Governance, and Land Rights for Sustainable Urban Transitions: The Middle Eastern Perspectives, edited by Ahmed M. Soliman and Ramin Keivani.
