The process of rehabilitating the historic center of Birzeit
is part of a holistic vision that incorporates architectural heritage
preservation and utilization into the development process.
The projects listed here are part of a master plan that has come
about as a result of a comprehensive study conducted by the members
of the working team that include the Birzeit Municipality, Riwaq center ,
the Architectural department at Birzeit University and the Rozana
Association. The
master plan (map) indicates some of the proposed
uses of the houses, attics and courtyards. There will be plenty of
space for targeted private sector involvement, as well as public and
semi public centers.
Support is needed to guarantee the implementation of these projects.
Any donation or in kind intervention will be greatly appreciated.
