Rawabi
Rawabi ((アラビア語:روابي) (ヘブライ語:רוואבי), meaning "The Hills") is the first planned city built for and by Palestinians.〔〔〔 in the West Bank, and is hailed as a "flagship Palestinian enterprise."〔〔〔 Rawabi is located near Birzeit and Ramallah. The master plan drawn up for the high-tech city,〔Harriet Sherwood, ('Rawabi rises: new West Bank city symbolises Palestine's potential,' ) The Guardian 8 August 2013.〕 envisages 6,000 housing units, housing a population of between 25 to 40,000 people,〔〔 spread across six neighborhoods.〔(Building the Palestinian Dream, Haaretz )〕 Construction began in January 2010.〔(Rawabi: Work Begins On First Planned Palestinian City. ) Huffington Post, 12 January 2010〕 By 2014, 650 family apartments housing an estimated 3,000 people〔Jack Moore, ('Palestine’s Billion-Dollar City Can Finally Open,' ) Newsweek 27 February 2015.〕 had been completed and sold, but could not be occupied while negotiations with Israel over supplying the city with water, which had dragged on for some years, languished. and its apartments stood empty, with Rawabi remaining uninhabited,〔 because the city was waterless,〔Avi Issacharoff ('Waterless, the first planned Palestinian city sits empty,' ) The Times of Israel 20 February 2015〕 and stood for some years like a ghost town.〔 On March 1, 2015, its developer, Bashar al-Masri, announced that Israel would finally connect the city up to the Israeli-run water grid.〔AP,Nahum Barnea and Danny Rubinstein,('Palestinian city plan to move forward after Israel agrees to water deal,' ) Ynet 1 March 2015〕 In Israel Rawabi is called "The Palestinian Modi'in. The project was criticized by both certain Palestinian movements, such as the Palestinian National BDS Committee,〔 and some Israeli settler groups, the former claiming the use of Israeli materials normalizes the occupation, the latter asserting the project invades Israel and could become a terrorist base.〔Smadar Peri, ('Battle for water won by entrepeneur of first Palestinian planned city,' ) Ynet 4 March 2015〕〔Lyse Doucet and Jane McMullen, ('The new Palestinian city that lacks only one thing,' ) BBC News, 7 February 2015.〕 Buyers started moving into apartments in August 2015.〔('New Palestinian city welcomes first 'Rawabians' ) Ynet 1 September 2015〕
