Makan

Published periodically in Arabic, Hebrew and English, Makan (“Place” in Arabic) is Adalah’s Journal for Land, Planning and Justice. Makan applies a critical approach to planning and development, legal and human rights issues, regard minority groups, especially in regard to the Palestinian minority in Israel. The aims of Makan include raising public and academic awareness of issues of planning, development and human rights; contributing to understanding the gaps that exist in terms of planning and development between different population groups in Israel; advancing topics related to contemporary issues of the environment and sustainability; and, naturally, learning from international experiences in these areas. The first volume of Makan focuses on the concept of “the right to the city,” as developed by French philosopher Henri Lefebvre.
