Rehabilitation for Revitalization

Quality Urban Development and Sustainable  Interventions for Jerusalem’s Old City

In line with the collaborative agreement between the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) and The Welfare Association (Taawon), OCRP is actively involved in implementing the Quality Urban Development for Sustainable Interventions – Rehabilitation for Revitalization (QUDSI-R4R) Project which is funded by the European Union and managed by UN-Habitat. This initiative aims to enhance living standards and bolster resilience in Palestinian communities, with a particular focus on the Old City of Jerusalem.

The Old Cities Revitalization Program (OCRP) was established by the Welfare Association in 1994 to achieve sustainable development and renewal of Jerusalem’s much-neglected Old City through the restoration of historic buildings in parallel to data collection and analysis. This culminated in 2002 with the publication of the Master Plan for the Revitalization of the Old City of Jerusalem, the first of its kind at that time. In 2004, the program was awarded the prestigious Agha Khan Award for Architecture for its work in the old city of Jerusalem, and in 2022 was Awarded the 

ICCROM-Sharjah Award for Good Practices in Cultural Heritage Conservation and Management in the Arab Region.

Over the years, OCRP has evolved to encompass four primary components, each operating synergistically to ensure a holistic approach to revitalization:

Restoration and Rehabilitation
Documentation and Information
Community Engagement
