“…Heritage management for sites like the soap factory, Khan el-Hilo, and the House of Arches did not place preservation at the forefront. Heritage management instead manifests as urban renewal—a categorization of projects already laden with histories of destruction (Berman, 1982; Goldstein, 2022; Herscher, 2020; Jacobs, 1992; Lipsitz, 2007; Sa’di-Ibraheem, 2022; Smith, 2008; Stein, 2019). In contrast to the architectural plans for the Lydd mosaic, which revolved around the particularities of viewing the mosaic from multiple angles and future research, the development plans for the House of Arches heritage site center repurposing the building and its surrounding area for mixed uses (Lod Municipality n. d.a: 4).…”

At the national scale, Lydd is one of the “mixed cities” in Israel; however, to the Lydd municipality, the city is an “ancient historical city.” Through a discourse analysis of how the Lydd Municipality uses heritage as a tool to construct the city’s image as an “ancient historical city,” this article highlights how the two disparate urban identities align in producing and maintaining histories of colonial erasure. To the Lydd Municipality, the image of Lydd as an “ancient historical city” begins with the Shelby White and Leon Levy Lod Mosaic Archaeological Center, a pristine modern structure standing only a few blocks away from several abandoned and haphazardly cordoned-off ruins from the Ottoman era. Looking to municipal rhetorics and urban development plans for several of the heritage sites in the northeastern portion of the city, heritage is understood as a tool through which national priorities, municipal entrepreneurialism, and colonial erasure coalesce.

“…More than in any other urban type, Indigenous Palestinian urbanism in Historic Cities draws on, responds to and revives urban Palestinian life that precedes the 1948 Nakba. As Sa'di‐Ibraheem (2020b) discusses in the context of Jaffa, social and political associations in the city—dating back to the 1970s—have been engaged in acts of reclaiming stolen Palestinian properties, protesting the (Jewish) neoliberalization of the city, lobbying for equal Palestinian access to education and housing, and protecting religious Muslim and Christian sites through legal advocacy and youth mobilization. While these acts do not prevent or fully halt processes of urban Judaization, they nonetheless ensure that the Palestinian city continues to live and grow in the collective memory of urban inhabitants and the broader Palestinian society.…”

This essay puts forward a theoretical framework for Palestinian Indigenous urbanism. It argues that the specific and diverse expressions of this urbanism are partly an outcome of the fact that Palestinian cities—as a modern urban form—predate the Zionist settler colonization of Palestine. We centre the longue durée of Palestinian urbanism as a constitutive mode for contemporary experiences of Palestinian citizens in Israel and link it to Israel's persistent attempts to erase the urban landscapes of Palestine, symbolically and materially. We discuss how the de‐urbanization of Historic Palestinian cities in Israel since the beginning of the Nakba has drastically changed the urban and rural landscapes of these cities, ultimately leading Palestinians to adapt, develop and create new forms of urbanism in and around cities. Although Palestinians live in very different types of cities today, Palestinian urbanism broadly manifests as a presence of the absence, namely as the recursion of pre‐1948 urban life. Thus, in this essay we provide a new lens through which to understand Indigenous urbanism as a recursive and relational anti‐hegemonic structure that predates and can outlive settler‐colonial violence.
