الملخص الإنجليزي

This study discusses the forgotten spaces in the downtown areas of twin cities Ramallah and Al-Bireh, Palestine in order to provide an improvement and development framework for them.

In the twin cities of Ramallah and Al-Bireh, which share the same cities centre, the phenomenon of forgotten spaces is clearly demonstrated.

In the centre around Al-Manara square, for example, the forgotten spaces cover a large area in which no concrete action was taken for improvements.

These forgotten spaces are currently used as waste or garbage areas that negatively affect the overall city’s environment and visual appearance; however, these spaces have the potential to improve the quality of open spaces within the study area if exploited in a proper way.

This study clarifies the formation of the forgotten spaces through history, and the main factors that led for their formation, definition, current conditions, characteristics, and typologies in order to achieve an appropriate framework for their revitalization.

To realize this, the research methodology is based on the following four main types data: field work, interviews/discussions, desktop study and theoretical analysis.

The result of the research will be constructed as a framework, which includes suggested uses for the forgotten spaces within the study area, sample designs for some cases, and planning/design recommendations.
