This book is about a city, a Jewish–Arab “mixed” city, located in the core of my country, Israel—a territory which is experiencing ongoing conflict. As an architect and planner who specializes in the study of politics, I have discovered in my visits to the city of Lod a multi-layered built environment and a diverse human landscape that contains many of the issues that stand at the center of political debate in Israel, which must be seen as part of the Middle East, as well as part of the growing process of globalization. This book is an attempt to understand such a cityscape and its production vis-à-vis both power mechanisms and numerous acts of protest, and is the culmination of three years of extensive fieldwork in the city as well as my study of historical documents from a variety of archives.
