| The German Colony and Emek Refaim St. |
|
This book describes the neighborhood's history from the earliest settlement by the Templers in the mid-nineteenth century, through life under the shadow of the swastika in the 1930s, the wars, periods of austerity and rationing during the early years of the state, and on to the area's urban renewal in the late twentieth century.

| The Upper Kidron Valley, Conservation and Development in the Visual Basin of the Old City of Jerusalem |
|
The Upper Kidron Valley is the subject of this study. The area contains most
of Jerusalem's historic landmark sites and many of the holiest sites of the three
monotheistic religions – Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The area's religious,
historic and archaeological importance is enhanced by its prominent location,
breathtaking landscape panoramas, colorful communities and rapid rate of
development. However, increasing modernization and urbanization pressures
present a threat to the Upper Kidron Valley's landscape and landmark sites, and
subsequently, caution and careful consideration are called for in the planning and
development of the area if its unique character is to be preserved and protected. |
