The Promised City
High on a hill in the West Bank, between Ramallah and Nablus, an extraordinary Palestinian city is being built: Rawabi - meaning hills. It will be the first planned city in the history of Palestine and will become home to some 40,000 Palestinians by the end of 2013, or so it is planned. This project is the brainchild and passion of Palestinian businessman and multibillionaire Bashar Masri.
