Abstract

The growth of cities has been facilitated by a variety of factors. One of these is the land annexation by municipality with the assistance of elite individuals. The purpose of this study is to investigate how the elite influenced Nablus—in central Palestine Municipality’s expansion. The study scanned Nablus Municipality Archives, conducted interviews with the annexed villages’ people and used master plans to trace out the city’s expansion across time from 1960 to 2016 (Jordanian rule, Israeli occupation, and Palestinian Authority rule). The ‘elite’ theory has been used to explain how the expansion process succeeded. The analysis found that elite groups proposed and oversaw Nablus Municipality’s expansion boundaries at various times, delayed master plan’s approval and influenced the distribution plots for popular housing projects.
精英阶层在城市扩张中的作用:巴勒斯坦中部山区纳布卢斯市的个案研究
各种因素促进了城市的发展。其中之一是市政当局在精英个人的协助下吞并土地。本研究的目的是调查精英阶层如何影响纳布卢斯——巴勒斯坦中部城市的扩张。该研究扫描了纳布卢斯市档案馆,对被吞并的村庄的居民进行了采访,并使用总体规划追踪了该市从1960年到2016年的扩张(约旦统治、以色列占领和巴勒斯坦权力机构统治)。“精英”理论被用来解释扩张过程是如何成功的。分析发现,精英团体在不同时期提出并监督纳布卢斯市的扩建边界,推迟了总体规划的批准,并影响了热门住房项目的分配地块。
