Projects Bringing Time Back to Historic Sites
In an environment marked by restrictions and marginalization, the Association of Palestinian Local Authorities chose to turn to heritage as a tool for development—one that creates economic opportunities, reconnects communities with their legacy, and transforms historic sites into living social and productive spaces. Four projects carried out in partnership with municipalities became practical models of this approach.Palestinian heritage is more than archeological landmarks; it is memory and identity deeply rooted in the land, and a source of resilience for communities facing political and developmental challenges. In Area “C,” which covers more than 60% of the West Bank, these sites remain constrained by occupation policies that prevent their development and deny villages and towns the ability to invest in their own resources.

Wadi Hammad, Kafr Ni’ma: Safeguarding Land, Preserving MemoryKafr Ni’ma, a name that has spoken of abundance for centuries. Kafr means “home” or “place,” and Ni’ma means “blessing” or “fertility.” Together, the name becomes “the home of blessings”—the home of a land that gives as much as it is cared for. The name was no coincidence, but the echo of a deep-rooted bond between people and their place, a bond built on care, endurance, and the will to remain.To the west of Ramallah, Kafr Ni’ma stretches with modern homes that continue to grow, yet its heart remains unchanged: broad land encircled by ancient traces of past civilizations, and a collective memory inseparable from the soil. Within this landscape runs Wadi Hammad—a natural space that for decades offered the community a breath of air, where winter waters mingled with children’s f...
