The idea was to take this “linear” Border( Road 75) that separates both sides, diffuse it and break it down to create a new realm rather than a clean line dividing both sides. The area between both cities which I refer to as the “Buffer Zone” is an empty space that grew spontaneously between both sides. The idea is to take this Buffer zone, which acts as a black hole that disconnects both sides, and turn it into a new center which will support the whole region and eventually connect both sides. In addition, adding a new infrastructure system (light train) which will connect this new proposed center with the cores of both cities which are :
– The old city center of Nazareth
– The industrial area of Nazareth illit
