A city yet to come a story of Arab Jerusalem 1948–1967

Arab Jerusalem (1948–1967) emerged as a unique polity of 'in-betweenness,' balancing refugee identity with urban revival efforts despite partition and loss. The study reveals how Palestinian residents, local institutions, and Jordanian rule shaped its development, particularly through the municipality's resilience after losing key resources to Israel in 1948. Using archival records from Palestine, Israel, the UK, and Jerusalem’s municipal archives, it documents urban dynamics rarely explored in Nakba narratives, offering a nuanced perspective on post-1948 communal adaptation.
