  Urbicide: The Intentinoal Destruction of City Identity; towards Post War Reconstruction Stratigies.The research is based on the hypothesis that wars, and all other forms of political violence,have a strong impact upon a city’s physical and spatial structure, as well as on the human experience of place. The research seeks to sketch patternsof “urbicide”—the destruction of Palestinian cities, institutions, and symbols of identity—as a product of the ongoing processes of Israeli (colonial project) military operations and invasions of the Palestinian territories since the outbreak of the Al-Aqsaintifada in 2000. It addresses the notionof urbicide in armed conflict. It also analyzesurbicide as an event in itself, with three distinctstages: from an initial “process” on to “action,”finally creating, in stage 3, the “effect” of urbicide. Investigation of the three stages will not onlyexplore the impacts of destruction on the city’sphysical fabric but also deal with the consequences of urbicide and urban destruction on residents’ collectivememory and their urban experience of the event.An attempt is also made to illustrate how the urbicide process manifests itself both as design by construction and as design by destruction. These stages are investigated by mapping and documenting the mechanisms and patterns of damageinflicted on the historic centre of Nablus in Palestine as a representative case study. while other cases of interest were investigated such as Lebanon, Bosnia, Afghanistan and Iraq
