The Giant’s Garden
In June 2010 the Local Planning and Building Subcommittee recommended the Jerusalem Municipality’s plan for “The King’s Garden” in the heart of the Al-Bustan neighborhood of Silwan for deposit to the District Committee. Presently, the Municipality is pressuring the District Planning and Building Committee to expedite discussion of the plan. Meanwhile, the Municipality continues to pursue court proceedings for the demolition of dozens of houses in the neighborhood.
