Summary:

"The first two decades of the British Mandate (1920s and 1930s) were characterized by rapid urban growth and the first urban sprawl as important residential areas formed away from historic urban centers. Palestinian Urban Mansions focuses on this important era in the history of Palestinian towns and architecture."-- Publisher website.
