الملخص EN

The development of the Gaza Strip and its reconstruction is considered as the main duty entrusted to the Palestinian Authority at this point of time.

This duty has close association to social, economic, ecological, health and cultural aspects.

The acute and direct effect of the political situation makes the problems and obstacles facing Gaza Strip more severe and complex.

The Palestinian Authority has made great efforts since 1994 to face these problems and find proper solutions and has made some achievements regardless of the limited available resources.

However, after the Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip in 2005, Gaza became a big jail isolated from its surroundings.

This situation has caused several problems such as the destruction of homes, farms, factories, in addition to the fact that Israeli has prohibited the entry of the construction materials and equipment for rebuilding efforts, which adversely impacted the development process in the Gaza Strip.

This research is an attempt to determine the most important problems facing the urban development in the Gaza Strip, and to identify priorities and propose solutions and explore potentials for future development.

The research is also aimed at clarifying the importance of these aspects and make sure that they are not overlooked by the officials and decision makers by adopting a scientific methodology based on the analytical descriptive method.

The research concluded that the lack of land in the Gaza Strip, and the rapid population growth, and the lack of natural resources, and the Israeli siege is the most important urban problems that hinder the sustainable development of the Palestinian society in the Gaza Strip.
