The importance of public life

Ramallah -  To live under circumstances like this, were you are locked up in little pieces of land, the quality of public space is of vital importance. Is it well maintained at one side and is there a liberty to shape the space by the users at the other side? The aliveness here is made by the authorities who planted trees along the roads and street lamps. Keep the space clean. The vegetable market is a jewel in the centre of town. All fresh products from around the corner. It is all about an awareness of culture. Keeping old buildings and parks and gardens despite the high prices per square meter is vital as well.
