In the last 5 years, the IPCC projects have demonstrated that a community-driven approach to place-making creates new civil society networks and strengthens existing ones. By uniting local stakeholders around a common goal and providing a platform for idea exchange, these actions encourage civil society cooperation within and between different communities in East Jerusalem. The target group includes residents of East Jerusalem neighbourhoods, who need to advance their urban rights, create public spaces, and benefit from these spaces. East Jerusalem consists of 26 neighbourhoods with a population of 400,000. This initiative aims to recruit 150 motivated urban leaders to lead a place making intervention in East Jerusalem. The IPCC engages with community representatives, including local grassroots associations, unions, organizations, and informal community structures and initiatives, to carry out and implement the project activities. The 3 publications document the outcomes of this communal process.
