Developer builds Palestinian West Bank’s first planned city

A more hopeful note from a part of the world much better known for conflict than economic development.

There’s an ambitious $500 million invested in homes for tens of thousands of Palestinians, six miles north of Ramallah — in what would be the West Bank’s first planned Palestinian city: Rawabi.

The project managers still need approval from Israel for access roads, but they went ahead anyway with the groundbreaking earlier this month.
