الملخص الإنجليزي

This research considers both analytical and descriptive procedures to describe and evaluate the current urban environmental condition in Ramallah and Al-Bireh Governorate in order to introduce an integrated approach of urban environmental planning and management based on a set of evaluation criteria that have been formulated in order to set a basis for the sustainable urban development in the target year of the study ; 2020.

The main issue emerging in this research is that population counts and urbanization level are increasing excessively in Ramallah and Al-Bireh Governorate, mainly Ramallah and Al-Bireh cities, which led to high population densities and urbanization rates that can't cope with the existing infrastructure utilities in the two cities where the population density was almost about 1800 person / km2.

In this research it has been projected that the population in the governorate will exceed 500,000 inhabitants by the year 2020 and it was estimated that the required built-up area in the target year is about 158 km2.

So far, GIS analysis based on subjectively selected factors has been performed and revealed that there are about 297 km2 of suitable land for sustainable urban development in Ramallah and Al-Bireh Governorate.

Hence, it was stated that there is no meaning for concentrating people and services in Ramallah and Al-Bireh cities and it was suggested to go towards the sub-centers where population and services can be distributed.
